Does she feel there aren't enough hard buttons for routine viewing, or can it be solved with programming?
Its still a current remote, She DVR's alot of shows..morning talk and such and when a commercial comes she like to skip them, She mainly uses the Sat remote as she has the fast forward, Play, rewind buttons memorized, on a touch screen there are no buttons, just a flat surface so you have to look down to get your fingers on the right button. she doesnt like that. So she will use the sat remote 95% of the time due to the buttons. The T2c she is warming up to slowly...its a change and she doesnt want to have to relearn button placements, But I have recently hidden the DVD, VCR, TV, AV receiver remotes so she is forced to use the T2C, but she knows how to power on the TV and sat with the sat remote and get the right input on the tv and not have to use the av receiver at all.....she also hates when I move the seat around in her car or retilt the wheel
I like the T3, because I usually surf with the channel buttons(up and down)
You can get a larger screen with the T3 over the T2c, its more a personal preferance. The T2c has more hard buttons and a smaller screen, the T3 has a larger screen and less buttons
We have sold about the same on either, and there is also the price difference on them as well..MSRP on a T2c is about 300.00 less than the T3 or T3v
