[QUOTE="Len Bartz, post: 783121, member: 115267"] This thing is a piece of junk! It's poorly designed, cheaply built, and can't be expected to work for any longer than the warrantee, if that. I'm on my THIRD remote in less than 18 months, despite treating them like eggs! The remote that came with my TV lasted just eight months, and its replacement only nine! Just to add insult to injury, you can't buy a "universal" remote, because Vizio didn't build in any way for a universal remote to pair with the TV! So, despite the fact that you KNOW their remote is a $60 paperweight, you'll still have NO choice but to buy ANOTHER one! (IF you can get one! Mine was back-ordered, since apparently they're selling enough replacements that they can't keep them in stock!) This remote control is SO bad that I will have to think long and hard before I buy another Vizio. [/QUOTE]
