Hi Ed,

Still don’t see the benefit of using an software app towards fixing a piece of 
hardware with buttons that no longer work.

I’ve seen/found various sources to buy new for $15 to $30 or so.  But maybe 
like you, there must be many who put their remote back in the box after not 
using it for a new purchase.

Any other list-readers have a ‘new' or ‘used' one available?
