Are all TV Remote Controls bad?

The Harmony is good, but it’s an aftermarket problem to a solution that shouldn’t exist in the first place.

The B&O one looks OK, but if I gave it to someone unfamilar with it, who could work out what the yellow, green, red and blue buttons mean?

I’m surprised HUD’s arent used more- all the TV brightness/ sharpness/ hue are, but not switch to DVD etc. I like the idea of a programmable touch screen on a remote, but if you are looking at one screen, why do you need to look down at another?

I had no idea about the remote control OEM market. It is kind of sad, outsourcing such a big part of your user experience to an off the shelf product:
