  1. Ok, new batteries did NOT fix it. What do I mean? Twice today it just goes dead. No response to any keypress. Nothing. Out to lunch. To wake it, it requires pulling a battery and reinserting it.
  2. First, let me give a MASSIVE thumbs down for the battery compartment design. Any battery removal that requires a flat blade screwdriver or similar tool is poorly designed. The batteries won’t shake out and you can’t get your fingers to the position to pop them out (maybe if you have long nails?). Terrible design. Why is this important to me? My remote keeps locking up. Like daily. I have been removing and reinserting the batteries to wake it up and then it works great again, but battery removal is major surgery. I’m going to try replacing the batteries with a fresh pair to see if this solves the lockups, but for the next design iteration, make battery removal easier. Please.
  3. So…. Basically this ensures compatibility with those older remotes that require the color keys but, from a practical standpoint, it just makes a two-keypress command. Right?
  4. I am a techie. I owed a computer store for over a dozen years when the PC era began and I'm a member of Mensa and I have a doctorate so I'm not dense or uneducated. I got the Skip 1 up and running without difficulty on Windows 10 with a Sound Bar, TV, and Apple TV without difficulty. I haven't tried adding other devices. My Sound Bar isn't in the code base (surprising since the Sony HT-A7000 is pretty common), but I am limping along by using a few codes that cross over from another Sony sound bar for now. What surprises me, though, is the absence of any documentation on the use of the color wheel. I can't find anything documenting how it is supposed to be used, its purpose or why it even exists. Given it presumably is a unique feature of this product, why isn't this feature explained somewhere prominently? Can someone explain its supposed usefulness? Thanks.
