DudeDad calls it his “billion dollar idea.” “I have a billion dollar idea and I’m giving it away for free,” he says in the video. The solution, DudeDad explains, would be for a simple button on the bottom of the television that, when pressed, would send a signal to the remote control to make a beeping noise.

If such a button were available on the television, he says, “I wouldn’t then have to tear apart the whole house to find the remote.” So now let’s see if the manufacturers are paying attention.
