721: What is the dark red button for?

[Randy_B]

Has anyone heard what the dark red button on the 721 remote will eventually be for? I know the Dish Home button is next to it.

It's an eject button :lol:

It will dial out over the internet and order you a pizza. That's why it is the color of tomato sauce.

Jeez, I need a vacation.

Bob,

I know that was a joke but my local cable company has something like that set up on their digital cable boxes. You go to a menu where you can order pizza and other food items from a local pizza chain by just clicking a button on the remote. Delivery takes 20-30 minutes.

The red one? Don't EVER push the RED one!!

....but if you do, for a nominal fee, we can seel you this *blue* button, to get you down :-)

[I just COULDN'T resist!] :D

From austin powers..
Uhh there's a button, I pushed all the buttons

I thought it was to switch between directv and dish if the merger had gone through ;)

Did you ever see the movie "The Fifth Element"? Be careful of that red button.

[BobMurdoch]

BOOM!

Hee Hee. Great Movie. PLUS you get Milla Jovavich in a top made out of a few pieces of swiss cheese in one scene, and a few strips of cloth in another.

I was thinking of the matrix. Push the red button and see how far the rabbit hole goes! Push the blue button and return to never never land...

I think they should download to the hardrive the clip from spaceballs, that says, the ship will self destruct in 10 seconds..
and then everytime we hit the button, instant comedy..

Men In Black-Whatever you do, don't push the Red Button.

Whenever you push the red button every other 721 in the universe pixellates for just a second, while yours stops pixellating for just a second. It increases the bitstream to your 721 at the expense of everyone else's.

The big red button turns it into a TiVo. (or was that the big BLACK button?)

Can Stimpy resist pressing the Red Candy Like Button?
