Hopefully the cable company is also sending out written instructions on how to turn the TV on & cable box on and to tune to the Remote Control Channel. Otherwise the much-needed RCC will be underutilized.
Which became an international problem when the CBS show “Rescue 911” got shopped overseas. There was at least one case: Happened in Oz when a homeowner watched his home burn to the ground while he dialed 911 repeatedly and no help arrived — because the Aussie emergency number is 000.

Some people apparently NEED a place to go for precise instructions.
Right up there with voicemail systems that instruct you “To end this call, hang up.”

I had a sunscreen for my windshield that read: don’t operate car with this in place. That kinda tells you that lawyers have been at work, doesn’t it?

@StCleve72I saw a sign somewhere that said, “Just take the warning labels off everything, and the stupid problem will sort itself out.”

Remotes with their own phone number so you can call them when you lose them, THAT is the true invention of the ages.

There is a channel on DirecTV that broadcasts how to set up your sattelite dish.
