Inspired by the Remote Control Finder idea recently posted, I thought to myself where it would make the most sense to place one.
It's always in front of you. A sliding panel (glass?) could be used to cover it up when the entire surface is needed. The transmitting LED's can be mounted on the far edge, making aiming the remote a snap.
Available in several sizes and woodgrains.-- Cedar Park, Oct 06 2003 Remote Control Finder http://www.halfbake..._20Control_20Finder [Cedar Park, Oct 05 2004, last modified Oct 17 2004] Remote Control Remote Control http://www.theonion...3104/newremote.htmlFor the extra-lazy.

Oh look, it's behind the couch cushion. No, wait, that's the stereo coffee table...-- Detly, Oct 06 2003 Shoot. I just read the remote finder and had the same idea. Rats rats rats. Ah well, I can't in good conscience fishbone an idea that I also came up with. This thing is just common sense. (+)-- Madcat, Oct 06 2003 Why would I want to lean forward to the coffee table, when I could have a sofa remote? One built into each arm, maybe.-- nprnncbl, Oct 07 2003 a coffee table remote would make it much harder to channel surf, as opposed to a sofa remote, so that has to be a good thing.-- oneoffdave, Oct 07 2003 Maybe the remote panel slides out from the coffee table like a cd drawer to make it easier to surf from the couch.-- Cedar Park, Oct 07 2003 Just hit the thing with your toes.-- Detly, Oct 07 2003 random, halfbakery
