Those still had to be adjusted manually.

I remember the remote I had when I was little. It was to a Zeneth and it made that clicking sound to change the channels. Hence calling it 'The Clicker.'

Monk...you got stuck doing that too? I had to change the channel for my older sisters and brother. So much for being the "baby" of the family.... /laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Laugh' />

Thank you sir for your great invention.
