Well Shads305, I'd say that you should save your $100 and instead buy a stick and put something sticky on the end of it to pick up your remote. It is a tried and true way to do it, and I have used the sticky stick approach for a long time now.
What I dont get about this post is why everyone keeps flaming Shads305 instead of simply answering his question. I mean, i can see where it would get annoying for him to post about the same thing 2 or 3 times, but its not that big of a deal. Im sure that he is not posting the same thing 3 times just to get everyone ticked off.
