in our house when you want the remote it's called the presser, goes back to when my younger brother was 2-3 and called the remote the presser, now 30 years later 3 families all call the remotes a presser, what's yours called?

oh! and if you have a new fangled virgin box and you lose your presser, press the + button on the front of your box for 10 seconds and your presser will beep!

Has anyone ever downloaded one of the apps to their phone?

I did with the now tv box when the dogs first chewed the remote. Worked well.

 

They since chewed the new remote and for some reason couldn't get the app to work.

Anyhow, got another new one now. It's gets put away.
