w00tI just lost control! Now I am a pretty disciplined person, but my remote needed the batteries changed and when I changed them I had to re-program it! I couldn't find where I wrote the number I needed to program it! I went nuts!! I was wondering how many of us really lose it when something goes wrong with our remote!!... or am I all alone????

I change the channel manuallly when my remote control gets lost or broken. It's not that big of a problem for me but I do hate to get out of the couch when I'm all comfortable. Then again, I don't watch much TV.


myLot reputation of 98/100. macdingolinger (1180)   ranked 41 out of 2,313 in tv  6 months ago

I don't typically watch too much tv myself. But when I do watch, I hate the commercials so I mute them! I find most of them very annoying... and I really don't like getting up! I guess I've become lazy and "remote-dependant"! ...but... I work at the computer while the tv is on ... so that's why I don't like to get up it interupts me too much!!:)


myLot reputation of 70/100. Guitarpunk (540)   ranked 450 out of 2,313 in tv  6 months ago

Oh I see. I don't like comercials either and my brother usually watches annoying cartoons when I'm on the computer so I wish I could mute that too.

myLot reputation of 98/100. macdingolinger (1180)   ranked 41 out of 2,313 in tv  6 months ago

You may be right.. it's in the dna!!! I claim to be the first remote actually. I could be outside playing and my dad would call me in to change the channel! funny... anyway...gotta have the remote!!

This is funny because my daughters remote control is missing for a few days now. We have checked every where and it can't be found. They went a little crazy not understanding how the remote control can't be found and now they have decided just to go and buy a universal remote.


myLot reputation of 98/100. macdingolinger (1180)   ranked 41 out of 2,313 in tv  6 months ago

Ugh!! I just bought this universal remote a few weeks ago!!! I gotta have it!!! I think couches eat remotes...

Wow! This is freaky. Just a few minutes ago I found out that the remote that controls our T.V is missing! I freaked out and I am still wondering where it is. I looked all over and I just can't find it. Oh well, I hope someone else manages to find it!


myLot reputation of 98/100. macdingolinger (1180)   ranked 41 out of 2,313 in tv  6 months ago

Ugh!!! I hope you find it!! I have to have the remote now!!! I watch tv while working some and don't like the commercials!!


relikie (91)   ranked 994 out of 2,313 in tv  6 months ago

Thanks! We still haven't found it, but I haven't been looking lol. I hope we find it soon, because it's the only control that can turn the TV on and off and change the volume!

Everything goes nuts when the remote goes missing! Our TV's power button is gone, so the remote is the only way to turn it on!

No remote= no TV. Oh well, the remote is man's best friend. Well one of them at least.=D

YES I go crazy!! Ours is satellite and we have DVR. If the remote is gone so is the DVR. We would go insane at my house. We lost ours for one day and you thought the world would end. LOL. I guess that is a sign of the times. I remember when we only had 4 channels to watch! Hehe!


myLot reputation of 98/100. macdingolinger (1180)   ranked 41 out of 2,313 in tv  6 months ago

lol! I rememberthe 4 `channel days too! And one of them was the public learning channel. And they all signed off by 1:00 a.m.!! When you heard the national anthem.. that was it. Sometimes on weekends, they would have little movie marathons... my dad and I would stay up on Saturday nights when it was John Wayne night!.... ahhh those were the days when we actually played outside!!!

Just like my wife. Panic if there is no TV remote or TV channel that she was like.
She is very disciplined watching TV.
Sometimes I like to hide the TV remote or changed TV channel number, and she witnessed the search for a loss. lol
But I wonder, why change the battery for the remote can change the TV channel?
Or I misinterpret?


myLot reputation of 98/100. macdingolinger (1180)   ranked 41 out of 2,313 in tv  6 months ago

I like your wife!! there are only certain things I am willing to watch too... but I hate commercials! So I must have the mute button handy!!!

no while i do lost my remote several times.
i have three remotes for watching tv,one for the settop box,one for the tv it self,and one for the DVD player.these three guys usu. dont unite together, and i will find them one by one then my favorite tv program will slip during my finding.that's not pleasant but i will still laugh.


myLot reputation of 98/100. macdingolinger (1180)   ranked 41 out of 2,313 in tv  6 months ago

ugh!! I don't know if I would be laughing or not!!! I would get frustrated getting the wrong remote for the wrong player and all!! That sounds very confusing, but I know I would figure it out eventually.

I am one person who gets pretty ugly when someone hides the remote, it is a necessary part of daily life.
And why on earth can women remember to get batteries for everything except the tv remote...grrrrrr!


myLot reputation of 98/100. macdingolinger (1180)   ranked 41 out of 2,313 in tv  6 months ago

You know.... I have to have that remote... even if I walk by the tv 80 times looking for it!! LOL!! I usually remember the batteries for the remote.. or I will just leave and go buy more if they are out... gotta have it!!:)

I don't freak when I can't find the remote control, because I work from 9 to 5 and rarely watch TV. But my mom does freaks when she lost the remote control or she can't find her favorite channel because something wrong with the remote lol. Usually she would call me and ask me to give guidance of what she should do to fix the remote. So it's more like online tutorial for her thumbup


myLot reputation of 98/100. macdingolinger (1180)   ranked 41 out of 2,313 in tv  6 months ago

lol at online tutorials!!! I know remotes have become increasingly complicated though!!! I don't usually watch a lot of tv either, but I am in a difficult situation and it is on much more lately!!! but I gotta have that remote!!!
