DVD player without zapper
I got a dvd-player as a present.
There was one particular reason why I got it: the remote was missing.
I thought it wouldn't be much of a problem: running to a machine in 3 m distance isn't such a big deal. Good to do some sport once in a while...
Some days ago somebody lent me the L-Word series. A reason to test the DVD player. :)))
Turns out I do need the remote: I can only see the first chapter on each DVD.
-Not being able to change the subtitles isn't such a big deal, since luckily they speak English, and not Chinese or so...-
The thing is: I did see the first chapter of the L-Word before I found out the problem.
Whereas before I wouldn't have cared to have no dvd-player without remote, now I need that remote!!! I need to see the rest of the series!!!
-Damn.-

There is software to turn any Palm (and probably other PDAs) into a remote control, but since the Infrared light is kinda weak on those devices, you would need to hold it very close to the DVD player.
The better option would be to purchase a "universal remote control". You can get them in the FNAC, Exell or online on sites like www.intellihome.be.
Should I check out "The L-word"? I've seen the girls are pretty, but I have no idea if the dialogues are clever.
