Art Lebedev's Pultius remote: one button for every channel {Engadget HD}
Oct 5th 2007 2:42PM so what would you watch if "Chuck" wasn't on? How would you go about finding another show? Channels exsist to group shows into an organized list. You've described a new method of watching TV and I think it's great that it suits your need but I don't think that it would work for the masses. Shoot, most of us with DVR's don't even watch live television we live in our previously recorded shows. :-)

(inserts a dime…one nickel and three pennies returned)
As I’ve read through most of your comments I couldn’t help but think; how does this affect us? (Us meaning Engadget readers). Don’t get me wrong, I see the obvious problem with companies agreeing not to purchase/use another product in turn for some type of compensation.
My question is this: Shouldn’t this type of agreement have positive impact to the end user?
I see it on two fronts-
1. The Joe at the pc store who doesn’t know about computers shopping for one will get a pc that does what he wants it to do and at what I imagine would be a less than what it would have been had the two companies not have the agreement.
2. The enthusiast who wants to build his own system compares the costs and performance of the two chipmakers and settles on the chip that delivers on his needs for the cheapest price.
The base line assumption is this: The agreement guarantee’s the sell of product. The benefit of Intel knowing that company X is going to purchase Y product for $$ amount allows them to focus on other things R&D for example as opposed to spending money marketing products. The benefit for the PC manufactures is now they have an all but guaranteed supply of product, which decreases build times and allows them the opportunity to focus on other things as well, customer service for example.
I’m not saying that these actions are right, this is how I first viewed the situation..
Your thoughts?
