Crestron does it again!
So this client calls us up and she begins to explain, how the only way to watch television is by following this Crestron cheat sheet.
Really? after spending thousands of dollars on a sophisticated Crestron system this is as good as it gets?
Now I don’t know about you, but I would not put up with this kind of programming that requires a cheat sheet. That is just plain wrong on so many levels.
Nor is this fair to this housewife that if she gets one thing out of sync all you see is snow on the TV.
I mean really? Can you imagine the humiliation that one has to go through each day with this monkey on your back that you are rolling the dice each and every-time you pick the remote.
I gotta say that if your spending $250.00 an hour for a crestron system and some so called programmer, and he hands you this cheat sheet?
I don’t think there would be a whole lot of nice things to do except rip that system out and start from scratch.
And that is exactly what we are going to do to simplify the system.
