1 of 1000 things wrong with Time Warner

Time Warner’s DVR remote has a really stupid feature, the “Master Power” button. The button seems to randomly decide whether it will function as a master power or as a power button for the currently selected device. So, when your cable box turns itself off for no reason, you’ll press the CBL, then the power button, yet the remote will sometimes send a power signal to all of your devices, turning off the TV in the process.

There are about 50 buttons on the remote, why can’t we have separate power and master power buttons? I can’t believe I’m writing about this.

  1. Everest has separate buttons. I think one is called “System On/Off” and the other is just “Power”, used after selecting which device you want to turn on/off.
    If only Everest could figure out how to make the DVR go back to the end of the commercial break if you fast forward to far…….
