When I had my first apt, about twenty years ago, I had a remote for TV, VCR, Stereo, CD & Cable. I did tape them to a small piece of wood. One on each side and the 5th facing the other dir. It worked great for a while, about a week. I guess I should have marketed it, I could be a very rich man today. It was more trouble than it was worth. Today, I have remotes for TV, Pre Amp, HDTV STB, VCR, DVD, MD, CD, Tape, & Cable. I would never "tape them to a board". Now I am using a Pronto Pro, it is programmed with every button from every remote I have. Yes the learning curve was steep, but well worth the time, effort and money.
Please take your POS "Piece Of Something" and sell it somewhere else.
--->YES, I am jealous I did not Market mine first, hey, where you ever at my place back in the early 80's, I think you stole my idea.........
