When we purchased a new television set it turned out to be the same model of the one that broke. The old remote works with the new tv so we've got two now which comes in real handy because one or the other of them is always getting lost...under the cushions, under the chair, kicked across the room. And so hard to find in the dark. If it was a cell phone, I'd just call the number and see where it rings.
That's a really interesting point about the color of remote controls and the time we waste looking for them. I recently purchased a chair caddie that hangs over the arm rest of my recliner. I keep the remotes in there at all times.
