Perhaps? Why are we beating around the bush, does your remote battery die enough that you even have a concept of how long the battery lasts (I don't. Is it 6 months, a year, 2? No idea, too infrequent to expend brain-space on)? Battery is only the second worst part about using a phone as a remote, the worst being that a phone is anti-social while watching television (on a television) is social.
