Remotes certainly do come in various colors. At my friends house you must use the silver one on the VCR the blue one on the TV and the blace one with the multicolored buttons on the Sattalite. I prefer the old fashioned way of getting off my duff and turning the knobs or pushing the buttons on the machine itself. Marling McReynolds [log in to unmask] besides my therapists says I must exercise because of this stupid PD.
