Dale Jr.'s remote access

Apparently Dale Earnhardt Jr. was supposed to visit the set of "The Office," but instead met a friend at the DirecTV offices. He ended up having what he called a "discussion" with his friend about the way DirecTV designs its remote controls.
"I think they should change it," Earnhardt Jr. said. "Do y'all have DirecTV? You know where the numbers are at the bottom of the remote, and you have to hold it kind of funny and it's very uncomfortable and awkward? And when you hold a normal remote, you want the numbers up in the middle."
Earnhardt Jr. prefers the numbers on his remote controls to be in a certain spot. The DirecTV remotes do not meet his high standards.
"It's a travesty," Earnhardt Jr. said. "It is. You change the channel by the numbers and everybody goes to the numbers. They put them down at the bottom and my thumb can't get down there and I drop the remote a lot. It's terrible."
