SolidSignal.com Running ‘Buy One, Get On Free’ Offer on DirecTV Remote That Works Through Walls

Online retailer Solid Signal is running a “Buy One, Get One Free” promotion on a DirecTV remote that “works through walls and floors.” The remote regularly sells for $9.99, but a two-pack is specially priced at $8.99, “while supplies last,” said an ad the e-tailer emailed us Friday. The remote is ideal for hiding a receiver in a closet or cabinet and still being able to change channels, it said. It’s also great for receivers that “feed” two TVs, “so you can control the receiver from another room,” it said. It also won't hurt having a "back-up" remote on hand, because "just like [light-emitting diodes] LEDs, remote emitters weaken and wear out over time," it said.
