I really, really wish they would create a patch for this. My remote has been stuck out of reach for months now. I've tried hundreds of times to have various peeps pick it up. They just can't do it. Employing the maid service didn't retrieve it either.

Not being able to use the television takes some of the enjoyment away from playing for me. At this stage there isn't much left to do while I wait for a few random things to happen (final bug to show up, winning lottery ticket, etc.). In the past I enjoyed purchasing a movie and seeing the whole family come running to watch it together. Now all I can do is drag them away when they stand "confused" by the coffee table when they want to watch TV.

How very frustrating!
