Yeahhhhhhhhhhh. I'm gonna play *this* game, especially after zero in the way of a "customer satisfaction" response from support after four busted Barrels of Crud transactions in the past. Fool me five times, kick me in the nuts, etc.

See ya!

We have 7 televisions in our home. In for 3 of these little gems.

I miss those good old days...

Sure, this will work on my TV and DVD player... but will it work on my wife?

for those bugging out about the picture, woot fixed it, it now has the inside view, although the amazon link was posted 5 times

Took one (er, three) for the team on this one. May simply harvest the batteries when all is said and done but trying to help move this thing on.

Haven't seen many Woot-offs I take it? However, it is a bit unusual to have a killer the first morning of the WootOff.

kayakernc wrote:OK.
The CR2032 battery (2 pack) runs $5.99 at BestBuy....so it's like a free remote from WOOT for the price of the batteries alone.
Doesn't make the remote any less ugly, though.

You can buy the CR2032 batteries at just about any dollar store. Glitterbuglights dot com has them cheap with free shipping.

This belongs with flip phones, back in the early 2000s.

Hmm, CR2032 batteries are $.99/10 at Chicagoland IKEA stores: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/60207130/ so no objection here - I'm in for 3.

No the Worst woot Item ever was bout 2 years ago or so .It was a Keychain that they was selling for like a penny each. It took them 2 to three hrs to sell outta of them things lol. Now to me that was the worse one lol.

Here is a link to the manual... it does support "Guide" functionality along with page up and page down on the inside buttons...

go to ebay and you will see many sellers in China selling remotes for your camera for $2. they work fine. they are the same IR remote that pentax sells for $20.

OK, but what if I wanted to "buy American." /sarc

When was the K-X on woot? I spent the last 6 months saving to fix my K200d. I could not find a deal on the kx. How much was it. I sure hope they do not have one today. I will be torn.

It was back in August. Priced lower than Amazon's 'cause it was a refurb and the colors were a little bit . . unusual.

Mine's white with black accents, like a penguin. Good camo when you stop to think about it. Takes good pictures, although the kit lens could be sharper and brighter. (I've made use of my old Super Takumar lenses with an adapter. You lose autofocus and have to go to AP mode, but that's a small sacrifice for better photos.)

Be patient. You never know when one may come up again, maybe in this Woot-Off.

If you are looking for a remote for your camera, or anything for your camera you need to post at this site: http://www.pentaxforums.com/
very knowledgeable group of pentaxians

Thanks. I'll check it out.

VCR?! I guess I have to use that button to control the DVR...Otherwise, I will be totally confused.

This should be on kids.woot! It's a dream toy - A remote that looks like a phone. WOW! I'm buying three for my 17 month old.

We ended up getting one of these for my Dad who was getting confused by all the buttons on the regular remote. We just wanted the power, channel, and volume buttons to make it simple (so we taped it shut.) Worked great!

Also - just picked up 5 CR2032 batteries $1.99 at Bed, Bath, and Beyond. cheapest I found!

In for three. I helped.

Can this remote be programmed to replace my Roku remote?

Only if you are willing to hit the "shift+in your dreams" button combination for Instant Replay

Hmmmmm...Just as I have suspected...there are buttons on the inside.

Someone please end my suffering here and buy this thing.

sorry but it's been a while since I've been active on a Woot-off. Who has the URL for a Woot-off monitor to funnel traffic off the Woot site or does anyone have those anymore?

i have gone through several threads and cannot locate a link to one.

thanks,
john

I'd probably put it in my pocket instead of my handy-dandy flip phone. Does it make phone calls?

This thread needs more links. I would love to see this item!

Flip anything is so 2004. If it ain't touch screen, it ain't worth it.

Dang it!I succumbed to another $.99 purchase. I seem to be unable to resist a purchase on woot under a buck.
Oh, well. At least it's a really useful item-In for 3!
We were unable to watch the unrated version of The Change Up two nights ago due to a lost DVD remote and the hubs was angry. This will fix that problem!

At least we know what's in the next bag of cra p.

kduffield wrote:Can this remote be programmed to replace my Roku remote?

Doubt it. It has a code identification feature, but that's assuming it has a code for the Roku which is doubtful.

You can resolve this by getting a remote that has a "learning" capability which means you have the Roku remote generate the signal for each function and have the universal remote capture that signal and assign it to a key. Somewhat painful to setup, but worked like a charm once I was done.

Yeah, I remember that one. Also a knife set that was like $900+. Apparently most Wooters aren't professional chefs or 1%-ers.

Here's the Code Finder for this remote

something good better be up next.

Woh..oh..here it comes....it's a Wootkiller.

These make nice decorative paving stones for the garden and the leaking mercury from the batteries will help keep back the weeds.

Almost tempted to buy one just to pretend it's a cellphone. Nothing like messing with the channels and volume at a friend's house (or a business)!!!

If I didn't already have a toy phone and an old model phone for my daughter to play with, this would be her cup of tea as well. Finally, someone who views this item in the same light that I do!

Incidentally, she's already figured out how to operate the TV and PS3 - I'm half curious and half terrified of what she'd do with this fully operational.

Just click the picture there folks to see the inside of the remote

More like the users are getting lazy...

houndlax wrote:So THAT's where all the old Motorolla Razors went!

Actually, I've got a Motorola RAZR. I use it all the time. It's great for a super-cheap pre-paid phone plan. I'm old-school, I use my phone for phone calls. I don't feel the need to check my email 24 hours a day. ;-)

I bet I pay less for phone service than you do! :-D

sirwimbly wrote:will this also work with my laserdisc and betamax?

If you have a working Betamax, I bet that would be worth something. Some hipster will pay you good money for that!

That is funny, my parrot chewed the raised numbers on my old cable remote....#7 got stuck all the time. It really sucked, had to get a new one.
Got to get in on this deal. Give as gifts.
Innocently make your hubby, boyfriend or whoever think something is wrong with the TV!
Testosterone and tv remotes go hand in hand like magnets.

Dumbest question ever:
how do you control everything with your iPad. I can control my fios box with the Fios Mobil app, but how do you do the rest (PS3 for bluray, receiver, tv, fios). Is it seperate apps? are there "universal remote apps"? my ps3 needed an addapter for my AR universal to work, are other addapters needed? /dumbquestion.

TOO LATE!
