However, there are some customers complaints that when when you push a button on the remote, it doesn't always register, or it takes a long time to register.
You're never sure, so you push it again, and then it suddenly decides that both pushes were valid. You end up going to channels you didn't want to or you rat-a-tat-tat back and forth between the guide that you're trying to select.
And some customers complaint that it take very long time to open a menu screen in TV.
