How many broken or other wise useless remotes you got laying around?

[rurallib]

I think we have around ten. VCR remotes, old TVs etc. For some reaso we don't get rid of the remote - afraid I may want it again, I guess.

1. You're stuck with them forever - just like keys to long-gone cars and houses.

4. I recycle mine. I send them to people as gifts with a note saying "Sorry, I just realized this must

have fallen from the carton when I re-wrapped your present for shipping".

No sig line, return address or other indication where it is from.

5. They're poorly marked in terms of what they belong to.

I've got lots of Sony remotes for stuff I don't own any more in case I lose one of the remotes.

I've also got TV's and stuff in my basement or stuff I've thrown out and forgotten about the remote.

6. Anybody got a remote for a Sony integrated Blue-Ray player?

Bought it for $10 without the remote. I can't find the right universal control codes to get the Blue-Ray player itself working so I'm using it as an amp in bedroom.

8. What model number?

9. Just one.

It's the remote for a useless DVD player, which got fried during an electrical problem. Whenever I have a problem with my Comcast remote, I just trade it in for a new one.

11. Sometimes it pays to keep them...

My sister had a newish hd tv but she couldn't figure out why it kept asking her for a code. Apparently, it had parental settings or something. So she gave the tv to my mom. My mom hated it and lost the remote. She gave the tv to me and my husband used one of our old remotes to change the password. It's still a pain in the butt to use a pw every time, but it's a great tv!

Uverse has one remote so the remotes that came with the tvs are in a basket. We can't use the uverse remote to enter the password but that's ok.
