Verizon FiOS TV → Re: Free Remote Controls

It's nice and all -- but these are two-function remotes, right?

As we use A/V receivers, we kind of need the old-school four-function units.

Bummer, because a couple of our remotes are flat out worn out.

I'm not sure if you know this or not.........If you want the 4 device remote (which I prefer), you can order the FiOS TV Remote Control (4 devices) off of Verizon's website.
Not free; it's $14.99. At least it's available to order.

Sign on to Verizon.com,
- hover over MyVerizon, click on View All under My Services
- click on Equipment
- on the Remote Control line, click on Visit FiOS Accessories Store.
The FiOS TV Remote Control (4 devices) should be listed on this page.

Try Ebay........Search for Verizon Fios Universal remote control.

I've picked up a couple of brand new 4 device remotes on eBay for under $10 shipped.

Just wondering, is there anything better about the two function remote, aside from being newer? I only use two functions on mine currently (tv, stb).I have a few four function remotes that are a bit damaged but workable. Is there any benefit to getting the two function if I don't need all four functions?

The 2 button remotes have 99+% code coverage for all known TV models, so if you have a 4 button remote that doesn't have a TV code listed and the code search fails to find a working code - the 2 button should have a code that will work....

And the 2 button remote has dedicated power buttons for TV and STB, fixing the power sync issue with the 4 button remotes.

FWIW I think the buttons on the 2-button remotes feel better, more positive action I guess, than the ones on my 4-button remotes. I have multiples of both, and all of the 2-button ones just seem to function better. I don't know, maybe it is my imagination, but....
