Shouldn't that be the Land R***r of Nod? Either that or on the telephone. Or out walking the dogs.
Seriously, though, like you, Minesthechevy, it'll never work. There are so many subtle visual and aural cues a VCR controller can pick up (like his LOP nodding off...) which a CCTV and these gizmos won't ever provide to a remote controller. Our next door neighbour already wants to do our SRAs then use CCTV to check that the runway is clear, all for extra revenue. Can you believe it? Total delusion, total fiction, utter madness....an accident waiting to happen, it'll all end in tears like Tunnels In The Sky. Keep remote controllers for the TV until the batteries pack up and you have to get out of your chair to press a button. Whatever next? Pilots flying their sectors from the comfort of their Camberley conservatory?
edit because Land R0v*r appeared as Trabant. Work that one out....
