Actually the reason I am posted this was precisely because I wanted to spend 10 billon dollars needlessly calling a cab to buy new batteries in the middle of the night.
But it turned out, it was not me, my cable feed had a glitch on their end. The glitch happened in the middle of the night. I initially thought I was late on my bill. Called them up, they said no. But I explained to the tech that my remote suddenly didn't work fully. Two separate calls and walk throughs neither tech could figure out why. Next morning after ordering a new remote, my old remote suddenly started working fully, and yes, I switched out the batteries overnight. And no, I did not call a cab to go to Walmart. Usually if there is an outage on their end, there is a recorded message explaining maintenance issues as per local. But I live in a huge county. I think the issue never filtered down to the techs I spoke with.
Next time my remote/cable goes out, say outside a thunderstorm or hurricane, I am not going to chalk it up to me or weather. batteries and Walmart be damned.
