My hubby likes to watch three or four tv programs at the same time....He is constantly changing the channels on the tv.....I will be very intrested in a program and next thing I know it's got different people and I don't know what the plot is on the program...... When asked why he does it he tells me it's because the commericals are on and he doesn't want to watch them.......Sometimes I want to scream leave the clicker alone but it wouldn't help.... For instants on the day before Christmas we were watching a football game and we were rooting for the purple team and when I blinked my eyes and the purple team scored a touch down...I yelled good only to find out it was the wrong team and I should have yelled for the white team........ Sometimes he clicks it so fast it causes my veridgo to act up and I have to leave the room to get it settled down..... I was upset at myself the other day when the batterys on the remote were going down and it would move as fast....He told me something was wrong with it and I made the mistake of asking when he changed the batterys in it last....I should not have said anything and maybe then I could have watched the program I wanted all the way through......

I have a tendency to do that when I cannot get into a show. I also picked up that habit from my father; he does not like commercials and when he's watching T.V., no matter how into a show he is, he will change it to find something else for a couple of minutes, even if it'ss just CNN or another cable news channel, until the show he was watching comes back on. I don't do it that badly to where I can annoy anyone, and I tend to let my wife watch and tell me if she is into something and not change it, but I know that I can get restless watching and be a channel surfer at times.

That I can understand if you don't like the program your watching....But I still don't understand why people have to do it.

I like to do the samething, kind of. I like to watch one main program, and switch to another during commercials.

suggestion: buy a bigger and more powerful remote (you can now get a universal remote that is about 14 inches long and 6 wide....)it has more batteries and IS more powerful (JUST KEEP YOUR SECRET WEAPON HIDDEN UNTIL YOU NEED IT..... start a new trend... REMOTE WARS!!!
