    Free Football Remote Control at Radio Shack

    Lookie at what I found the other day when perusing through Radio Shack:



    Listed at $9.99. So I thought, "what the heck... neat little gadget for the rec room", and brought it to the register. The girl there told me "Oh, we're giving that away for free if you let me give you a demo presentation on satellite television". You can choose another remote for free instead also--I can't remember what the other one was, but this one was more appealing to me personally. So, I listened to her presentation for about 3 minutes, told her I already had DirecTV, and she gave me the remote for free.

    It's kinda cool... a pre-programmed remote that is shaped and feels like a stuffed football and can control 3 different items. The batteries are in a pouch inside. You can even throw the thing around the room to your buddies and not worry about it harming the remote at all. I'm going to keep this one in the rec room, and I'm sure it will be a great conversation piece.

    Oh yeah, I remembered the other free remotes they're giving away. One's an American Flag remote, and the other is a golf bag. The golf bag looks like it would be great for the golfing fans. (I stink at golf) Perhaps in Canada they have a Canadian flag for our Northern brethren? ??!!!!

          Good "catch" Chris. :

          Since the Astros choked away a playoff spot and their season ended today, I'll have to get back into football mode. This'll be a cool way to start - heh, plus the Texans won their second game of the season today - woohoo!

            Yeah, I think that remote will do nicely at my party while the Broncos win the Super Bowl this year!

              My review of Zcustom equipment
              by Chris D
              Recently, I decided to pick up a collection of units from Parasound’s Zcustom component series. These tiny components are manufactured “half-rack” sized, so that two units can be joined to fit side-by-side in a standard 19” component rack, if desired. Each one is also only one standard racking...

              1066, Remote, & IR Repeaters
              by efarstad
              Ok...some of you may have watched my journey as I built my HT. Well, I just finished connecting my IR-Repeater system which consists of the following:

              Stealth IR Sensor


              of which is connected to this:

              I found a floating, waterproof remote control!
              by Chris D
              I followed up on my previous post of needing a waterproof remote control by buying a Balboa Dolphin Flier remote, and thought I'd post information on it that could help others. I've run into several people who are looking for a similar type of product with no luck.

              I'm very impressed...

              RR-1050 (Remote for RSP1068) Display Problem
              by bnieman
              Just yesterday my RR-1050 remote for my RSP-1068 started acting up.

              When editing a label for a function on the remote, various characters on the remote display will cause other items to appear faintly (like the learn and edit icons) or faint lines through the main characters to appear...
