I just counted the buttons on my new DIRECTV remote control and there are FOURTY-FOUR, including:
1) Two arrows that point in a semi-circle;
2) Four COLORED buttons;
3) One button that says 'Active' (Lord knows what THAT's for)
and
4) My absolute FAVORITE: a button which reads: ": :"
How MANY buttons are on YOUR remote? :)

What kind of button is that? Well, I just counted the remote next to me...twenty-nine buttons. I'm sure the one downstairs has about thirty-five.

Per DIRECTV customer support, the ": :" button is to pause my attached VCR or DVD player.
Fascinating, isn't it? :)

120 buttons between 3 remotes. (VCR, TV/DVD, and Stereo/surround sound)
DJ because we can! That's like asking "why do people pop bubble wrap?"

Posted: 11/2/04 at 3:15ammy remote is a custom-made touch screen thing that looks like a game boy. in actual buttons, there are three on each side of the screen- one for the tivo, one for the direct tv, off, on, fireball, mute. everything else is in the screen.
