Maybe this experience will help you understand why you shouldn't...


Client is using the old DTV remote on a very simple system that involves the LG LCD, and the DTV box.


I get a call that when they push a button on the remote, they have a black screen and get something on the screen that says: Remote is in the AV1 mode.


I'm sure you know what the client did, and maybe wouldn't mind getting the phone call, but this is a great example of why you should do things in a certain way.


Client no longer has that remote....
