Going to the device and using the buttons there can sometimes be harder than looking for the remote. For example, our satelitte box has three buttons on front for channel up, down and power. One of them is large, the other two are smaller and the same size. Guess which one is power? One of the two small ones, of course, thinking that the larger button is the special one with a different function than the other two is stupid, isn't it? Well, try figuring that out if it's late evening and everything is dark so you can't see the buttons.
Not that remotes are any better in that aspect. The remote for our DVD player has an actual "Any key". A real button, labelled only "ANY KEY", like in all the jokes about the guys who couldn't find "any key" when the screen read "Press any key to continue". It's used for changing the viewing angle, among other things.
I think I want to add something to what grinds my gears: Horrible User Interfaces made by clueless people, with functions splattered all over the interface and no way to find out how to do something without reading the manual.
