Remote Update (as though you care...)

The flipping remote works today. As does the "old" remote from the broken Tivo that I still have for sentimental, and somewhat practical reasons (it is propping up my very small, very old television to give it some height on my very small, very old tv stand). Neither worked last night or this morning (which resulted in major withdrawal and general discombobulation on account of not being able to watch "The Today Show"). Suddenly I've gone from no remotes to three (thanks to emergency overnight delivery from Tivo.) Just my luck.
