Compliments to The Shack

Switched teevee/internet providers yesterday and, of course, they couldn't get their remotes to work with either television. :-[ I dug out an old 8 in 1 remote I got from The Shack, but hadn't used for over 5 years and surprisingly, the original batteries were still good.
Anyway after about 20 minutes the old remote had learned the codes for both sets and the cable boxes and works beautifully. I thought I'd better set the clock on the thing since I wanted to use the macro function. Another surprise was, that after 5 years stuck in a drawer, the clock was accurate to the minute!

Good job Shack!

    What's the name brand of the Remote? I bought a fancy Sony one that connects to my computer a few years ago. It still works but the backlights do not and is difficult to use!!!

    Amanda,
    Too bad we don't still make such high quality devices.

    And this is why Radio Shack is going bust. If their old stuff still works you are not buying new ones:)

    True that. Years ago I bought a gross of WWVB LCD wall clocks from R/S for friends and family since I was so happy with ours. All of them are still working flawlessly. In a cruel irony, buying another one would be superfluous.
