This is only 1 buck less than you’d end up paying if you went through another source like Amazon. BOOOOO Woot, BOOOOOO.

This combo is nearly half the price of a single RCR812 remote on Amazon before paying over $5 in shipping charges. BOOOOO You!

Well, if having my card charged immediately but not receiving the item is “not for everyone” then I feel pretty confident I’m in the majority. LOL…all in good humor… =)

We actually needed two remotes so this worked perfect. Just moved to a new house and one is MIA. The other was eaten by the dogs. First Woot!

So the other one was technically KIA?

@Patchitect

If you pointed one at the other and pressed the record buttons, would you stick them in an infinite loop and collapse the universe?

sure, given theres enough juice in the batteries to open a singularity.

Congratz and welcome to woot. And hopefully the dogs didn’t digest the remotes well… I can imagine getting electronic poop XP

Actually, I could sign up for an Amazon Visa, never use it, and have it cost 36 cents

It Figures, I registered today and this is my first woot, and everybody is saying how crappy this deal is. I bought two of them for a total of four remotes. My folks have RCA direct tv recievers and I have an RCA tv so this seemed perfect for me. I’m keeping one and giving one as a gift. I’ve been wanting to pick some up and 12 Bones each for an eight function remote and a four function remote isn’t that bad in my opinion.

P.S. I know RCA isn’t the best, but $300 for a 27 HDTV two years ago was a pretty good deal.

This isn’t my first woot, but I was thinking the same thing after I placed my order for these and then started reading the blog. I’m getting one set for me and one for my mom. I was hoping to control my sound system, satelite box/ dvr, tv and dvd player with one of them so I don’t have to be looking for all those remotes all the time.

This isn’t really a twofer. C’mon. Twofers means two of the same thing, doesn’t it? What’s next…a Scuba with a bottle of Clorox cleaning solution being called a twofer? Woot! Whassup?

maybe it is two of each

@spage47172

I read the FAQ’s… thanks… Did they bill you yet?

I have had it take up to three weeks to get mine delivered.

[mac_daddy1]

What is this word “seperate”?

Perhaps you meant “separate”?

Spell check much???

@Riallin

Be overcritical much?

Always answer a question with a question?

@MtnHermit

IR or RF or Both?

The specs don’t say.

If you press the buttons on each unit simultaneously, you get IF.

No, actually you get the ScIFi channel…

I do have to replacer remotes from time to time, but I’ll skip this one.
There enough of these in the discount stores for this price or less, once you consider the shipping.
And one word (well, a few words) of advice:
if you find a replacement remote of the same brand as the TV, VCR, or DVD that you’re buying it for, very often the default settings will work and you’ll save a lot of time programming the remote.

Will these remotes work in any universe, or just the one we currently exist in? I’d hate to travel all that way only to find out that these aren’t compatible elsewhere.

Assuming that other universes are parallel, you wouldn’t really “travel all that way”, unless while shifting dimensions, you also shifted spatially.

Questions and concerns about specific products should be posted in that product thread – that’s why each product has it’s own thread. General concerns about Woot, Woot’s business practices, or complaints should be posted in World of Woot, where they’re more on topic and may be viewed by a more general audience. They are very important issues and we welcome your feedback, both positive and negative, but please post it where it’s on topic.

Service is likely a fair bit backed up right now with pre-existing delays, the recent woot-off, the holiday, and the weekends between them. They will assist you as soon as they can.

I see the problem, these are instead perpendicular universes which makes these remotes worthless.

@Dagith

It would have an effect similar to dividing by zero, yes. Please do not attempt.

@norm401

Only God can do that and I don’t feel like it.

On the contrary, Chuck Norris can divide by zero. He can also eat Captain Crunch without cutting the roof of his mouth.
