Worst remote nomination...

I wish to nominate the remote to my Wadia 861xi CDP as the worst of a large number of remotes I have lying around the house. The little buttons are irrationally located, have obscure labels, and need to be pushed just so to get them to work. On top of that, it practically takes a sniper scope to get it pointed so it will operate the player from just ten feet away. What were they thinking?

Sorry, just had to vent.

Anyone else have remotes they love to hate?

Yes, I have 1. The remote that came with my Directv!
It`s the universal model (HA, IF you can call it that)!
It works 6 units, BUT the 6th one is a dvd player button,
and YOUR dvd player HAS to be a RCA, or PROSCAN,
OTHERWISE, IT WON`T CONTROL YOUR DVD PLAYER.
Second, when you use the VCR1 and VCR2 buttons,
the antenna button works the VIDEO/TV on your vcr,
BUT when you use the TV button, the antenna button WON`T switch to TV, Video1, Video2 on MY TV. What good is a UNIVERSAL REMOTE, IF it doesn`t work as well as
your other remotes! I STILL have to use 2 remotes!
One JUST to turn on my tv to Video1, then the directv remote, to turn on my 2 vcr`s and directv unit.
BUT HEY, GUESS WHAT: IF I WANT TO WATCH A DVD, I HAVE
TO USE MY SONY REMOTE! AND IF I WANT TO WATCH A
LASERDISC, I HAVE TO USE MY PIONEER REMOTE.
OH, AND BY THE WAY: IF I WANT TO WATCH A VHS VIDEO,
I HAVE TO USE MY JVC REMOTE, BECAUSE directv
DIDN`T INCLUDE TRACKING OR EJECT BUTTONS ON THEIR
(UNIVERSAL REMOTE)!
