Sorry. I have posted this in the UltimateTV section of the forum but felt a need to post it here too since it has the potential to impact a LOT of people in THIS forum TOO. I apologizee to those of you that read all forums...
Well... It was a fun trip for three days but it's back to the store with my UTV.
Don't get me wrong. I LOVE it but I can't use it. Let me explain...
Some brilliant engineer at RCA (kudos to RCA... AGAIN!) decided that the IR set used for the UTV unit would be fine to be the EXACT SAME IR set used with the RCA DTC-100 HD IRD(and ALL other RCA DTV IRDs that do not have an alternate IR set of codes). Absolutely BRILLIANT. Talk about out-thinking yourself!
I actually had a support person at RCA just now stand me down that he could not understand why I would WANT a DTC-100 AND a UTV BOTH on my Mits 65" HDTV. WHAT AN IDIOT!!!!!!!!! He really didn't understand what the big deal was!
My bet is that they'll lose at LEAST 1000+ sales for UTV on this forum ALONE because of this. I'm going to try my best to see to it.
I'm returning my UTV today. My ReplayTVs work just fine thank you and they don't conflict with ANYTHING else.
What a bunch of morons at RCA. Once again, just like when they released the DTC with Plus DTV features that did NOT work for 6 months after it shipped; RCA has absolutely outDUMBED themselves. What a SHAME!

Where are we going and why am I in this handbasket!
