Why, oh why, must you blast the volume to change channels??

I have no explanation for such a behavior... Actually I don't even like the sound when I channel surf. And I don't really like channel surfing lol I get a headache when different lights flash on my eyes all too quickly! Thanks for the response on my discussion!

I channel surf every time but definitely not at the top volume! It annoys me to hear too much noise. My uncle, whenever he watches DVD, you could hear it up to the next street. Definitely, it's a guy thing

my boyfriend does the exact samething. even if he is watching a show, as soon as a commerical comes on, he is right back to channel surfing. it drives me crazy and even when i say something, he still continues.

I'm sorry but that's kind of funny. I can only imagine how annoying it is at 30 decibels...my first roommate in college hated commercials so every time the commercials would come on she'd start flipping through the channels. And it wasn't like she was looking for something different so she literally flipped through the channels, so fast that "Cheetah" or "consequent" was far too many syllables. I'm not sure I ever even heard anything as long as "vid" LOL So then I try to imagine that at top volume and it makes me laugh. Not so much in a haha that's funny sort of way but in a haha really? sort of way

Flipping channels drives me up the wall. My brother used to do this all the time. You want to know what cured him...our DVR. Now he records all his favorite shows and always has something to watch! I used to ask him, during his channel changing days, "Why not just go to the guide channel, it's faster?" I got the old, "I dunno." Maybe it's the whole caveman, hunting thing.

I hope this behavior is neither a guy or gal thing and just a peculiar quirk of your BD. I have to admit it's kind of funny though I know if I were experiencing it first hand it would drive me nuts!

I hate when the television is blasting loud. The radio doesn't bother me that much, as long as it is not blaring so loud it is hurting my ears. My family all turns their televisions up loud except for me. It would be even more aggravating if they did it while surfing the channels. You would think he would wait until he found the show he wanted to watch like you said.

My wife accuses me of that too. Of course I don't think I do it, but according to her it drives her nuts. Sometimes I will watch something for a couple of minutes and change the channel and she will get mad because she was getting in to it. I am also a notorious remote hog, and when I am home no one else can touch the remote.

Hi, cortypants! Not me! I can't stand the thought of a loudly blasted radio or T.V. Yes, he should turn the T.V. volume down so that it won't be too loud.. With it being low in sound, it will ease some tension. He should, out of respect, keep it turned down lower. I guess this is a guy thing.. But my hubbie does not do this. I don't know about any other guy.. But, he should keep the volume down..

My husband channel surfs but swears he don't touch the volume, lol.... Though it's blaring so loud I have to yell at him to talk, and then it's pretty much pointless to even attempt it because then he will turn it up to avoid missing something lol. I can't stand a loud TV either, I drives me insane. My son even has inheirted this trait, because his TV is always so loud, and he's not even watching it but he tells me he keeps it that loud so he won't miss anything. I watch very little TV, but when I do, I know which channel I want so I don't have to flip threw it all, and if there isn't anything on, I won't go channel surfing, I pull my guide up and look threw that.

I think it's mostly a guy thing, the channel surfing part anyway. I personally do not like the volume turned up on the TV. My husband loves to have it loud. We have a limited number of English speaking channels over here so I have the numbers all memorized, my husband however prefers to flip.
