I am on the phone with phone with Direst TV and the guy said the reason [View All]

my remote was not working was I have Energizer Batteries in it and it wouldn't work with energizer batteries. :wtf: I had JUST gotten home from the grocery store buying new re-chargeable AA and AAA batteries and you know how expensive they are.

I was furious. Then he said it WAS an issue in the past but not an issue now. He was nice enough to sign me up for the protection plan today so I would only have to pay $19.95 instead of 79.95 on Monday when they send someone here.

Does this sound familiar to anyone? The wrong batteries on a remote is why your remote won't work???

We both ended up friends at the end after he signed me up for the protection that I have not had in a year and which I am going to cancel right after this shit is fixed. Plus I am trying to not hold onto anger as much now because it makes my stomach hurt.
