A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
Well, my old Phillips remote actually opened the tray if you held down the 1 key, I think. In any case, it was actually labeled on the remote Open or Eject or something by that key.
When I got my new Phillips (because my old one displayed in pink when I connected the component outputs and it was still under warranty, but no longer made) I tried doing the same thing, but it didn't work. I don't recall what made me think of holding down the stop button, but I was happy it achieved the desired effect.
I'm not either -- I'll be at my sister's show. And tonight's is SO GOOD, too.
My DVD player (Cyberhome CH-DVD 320) has no universal remote code.
That's gotta rank up there with the stupidity.
From the Cyberhome site:
Sorry, CyberHome DVD Players are not designed for Universal Remote Controllers. There are no codes added to any available Universal Remotes that are compatible with CyberHome DVD Players. Consequently, CyberHome DVD Players cannot be operated by Universal Remote Controls.
for $9.95 + shipping they will sell you a new one. [link]
it's still the world's worst remote.
Mine won't pause or fast-forward/rewind without skipping to the beginning of a chapter. Also, if you've paused it on the machine, you can't then unpause it with the remot.
I have to whack mine on something solid before it works. I don't think that's part of the design, though.
I just downloaded a manual, and there's some completely non-intuitive functionality hidden on that thing. But mostly I'd ask for a good remote design to let me use it with my eyes closed, at least for the big stuff. This fails horribly. Even looking at it, I get the wrong buttons too often.
Ah, that's the wonder machine play-anything that everyone wanted to buy, including me. Pity about the remote.
Microsoft?
Ha! No. I think it's a Sony, but I can't remember for sure.

The machine itself is great, but as ita says, it's the most non-intuituve remote ever.
eta: And I'll be dipped in shellac. The stop button thing works.
