I have both a Samsung phone and a Samsung television. I was playing around on my phone and discovered I can control the television by gentle touch for my phone. This is great because holding the remote control was trouble enough and pushing the buttons was making me crazy. Sometimes it's the little victories that make all the difference.:)
 
The VA gave us a "house control" set that we used briefly to open the front door, turn on lamps, and control the channel and volume of the TV. They also modified the controller of the hospital bed so it could be controlled by the house controller. If I remember correctly, we had it hooked up to the eye gaze thingee. The whole thing works on X-10 technology, which means the signals go through your house electricity outlets to the devices.
 
Hollister that is a great little victory!

I remember when Chris could no longer use the remote, it was not a little loss for him at all.
