Some of my still used oldest peripherals are logitech. Never the fanciest and far from the worst tier they are one of those great companies that just sort of find a way to survive in the top 20 of their category decade after decade.

Boy that was fun typing...

Logitech is a prime example of too much money from too many products. So they manage to squeeze out smaller companies.

That did that shit to the track ball market as well.

Ironically Logitech was seriously considering making a UMD drive. If they had done it the format probably would have stuck around.

There are other universal remotes, just the old fashioned kind.

I'm aware, I set one up a few years ago for my 94 year old great Aunt. Because my screw up 2nd cousin had "lost" the remote to her smart TV.

Being the nerd I am I correctly wired her house TVs up to digital antennas, programmed the channel guides, and correctly set the aspect ratios. I then looked up the codes for her Visio Smart TV and DVD player, then programmed those into a RCA universal remote she had laying around. That was after pulling batteries out of a different un-used remote.

She was happy being able to simply watch TV again with added the bonuses of broadcasts now having channel info and the guide button opening the OTA digital channel guide.

On all future road trips to visit family I pack one of my streaming blu-ray players with a flash drive full of HD movies.

They didn't kill the industry. They just killed their line of shitty remotes. URC and Control4 are lightyears better. With voice controlled home personal assistants out soon. Control4 integrates with Amazon Echo for as much voice control as you want to program. Controls much more than the tv.

Just? Didn't the Harmony remote do that over a decade ago?

Harmony took that market over then eventually sold out to Logitech. And now Logitech is going to shut all of that down on kill Harmony's code list/database.
