Gemini remote
Just curious about what others think about the Gemini remote? I personally think it is a swing and a miss. The ergonomics of it aren't good. It has an odd shape, it doesn't feel good in your hand, the number buttons are too low on the remote and the lettering on the buttons are too dark

remote
Does anyone else have trouble seeing the remote in the dark? I just switched from Cox and their remote was fabulous! It lit up when you picked it up and was bright. This Direct TV remote only lights when you press a button, is very dim and only stays lit for 5 secs. Is there a better remote?
