It's amazing how long you can put up with something that is broken or has ceased to work in exactly the way it should. The work-arounds you find. The small sacrifices.
This was the case with our very hardworking Humax remote control. I think the first feature to stop working was the MEDIA button to take you to recordings - never fear there was the MENU option to resolve this, but it meant 2 pressings of a button, but that's ok.
The SKIP FORWARD button stopped working a while ago (probably 6-8 months at a guess) so we used FAST FORWARD instead.
PLAY and PAUSE gave up at some stage - OK it is then
Then STOP stopped working - EXIT will do...
Finally, FAST FORWARD stopped and an arrow button was used to fill the gap.
Now, this just shows how clever a simple remote control is. It's also ridiculous that we didn't order a new remote several button-stoppages earlier.
But now we have and it's an actual dream to use.
Small pleasures.
