Never replace your remote's batteries again!

I'm betting

cost of windup remote > cost of replacement batteries for normal remotes during the life of the windoup remote.
 
Hey, that is pretty neat. But I don't think anybody worries about remote control battery life anyway, since it's like barely a quid or two for a 4 pack of AA batteries, and remotes take 2, and they last for absolutely ages.
 
i can never find batteries when my remotes die. and i never go out and buy, so i stop watching tv... then i lose the remote... problem solved... wait no tv. crap.

You speak the truth my son.
 
Batteries in my remotes seem to be good for at least 3-5 years. When they do die, I'll usually just pull some batteries out of something that goes through them rather more quickly, and buy replacements for that one.

I'll be damned if I'm gonna windup my remote everytime I want to use it.
Why not? You wind up your girlfriend dont you? And the tv is actually useful.

I will admit, my gf is hand powered. 😉

Edit: In reply to the below post. That's the thing, I only watch TV about once a week. 😕

I think first of all that the remote lasts about a week a "wind up." Secondly, I like to play with things, so I could easily see myself winding it while watching TV.


Brilliant!
