scottster, If you are indeed a 47 yr old male, your syntax and spelling reminds me of a whiny 16 yr old(male or female).

I would suggest you read the home page of this site for some answers...namely the descriptions of each of the forums in which there is help available if you pick the right ooooooonnnnnnnneeee.
This is definitely the forum that you will not get the right answer from.

A Puzzle (Courtesy of FruitBat at AVForums).

John went to the shop with five pounds. He bought two chocolate bars and three packs of crisps.

He was left with three pounds and thirty-six pence.


Question: Add all numbers



Now one may be wondering what this has to do with Scottie's request. Well, quite simply, there's not nearly enough information to come to a definitive conclusion.

scottster, my apologies if I appear rude, but unfortunately you’ve fallen into the same trap frequented by many a newbie before you. You’ve written your post in the assumption that we know what equipment it is you are using; and in the case of the remotes, have tried.

Questions:

  • You have three DVD/VCR combo units?

  • Are they all in the same room?

  • Are they all the same make and model? (Details of each would help enormously).

  • Do you have the original remotes?

  • What other remotes have you tried?

    Finally, as gwilly has mentioned (and the note at the bottom of the page states), this is the Intermission Forum; the place where anything, other than remotes, are discussed, ruminated upon and insults fly. It’s likely you’d get a better response if you posted your request in one of the remote forums or, at least, in the Home Theater Forum.

    I may be an a*****e (no, you really don't have to agree) but at least he's heeded the advice; clarified his requirements and posted in the Home Theater Forum. Got a result as well, though one does tend to wonder whether he will be satisfied.

    Well, if his typing is indicative, maybe Daniel's using words that are just too big for him - like intermission...
