Lord of the Remote

[Geekbabe]

Men! their obession to have constant control of the TV remote,lol, and if they have several devices control of all of the remotes in the house,nothing funnier than watching a dude clutching a handful of remotes like they were the holy grail or something.



Hehehe,men of earth in a constant quest for the master remote.. 'One remote to bind them all"?

 

[BatmanNate]

I'm a man and I don't even have a TV, not to mention a plethora of remotes.

Heh, One to bind them all. That would take the challenge out of it for sure. You should see the remote mongering at my house. I rarely see any of the 5 I have. In fact, I haven't bought my big screen yet because I know it will see more Oprah than it will football when I do.

Damn straight! I need a master remote with a "wife muting" button.

I am the master of my househo-

What? Oh nothing honey, just typing on Anandtech. Yes, dear I'll go take out the trash now.

If the man doesn't do that, the women immediately zaps to some crappy soap.
Or even worse, to an informercial! :Q

Anyway, I'm not the kind of guy who constantly wants a remote, as long as I got my computer to play with
Not liking (watching) sports helps there too.

 

[Placer14]

Hahahaha, when you find that master remote with a mute feature, let me know. Heck, I'd even be willing to fund research for it if it doesn't exist.

Wha?! As I was posting this, my sister poked her head in and bopped me on the head for NO REASON! I swear the other half has some sort of private sub-ether communication ability....it's UNCANNY. :|

 

[Geekbabe]

Men are such strange but amusing creatures sometimes

 

[chizow]

Its a conspiracy designed by men to allow men to have absolute power over electronic devices. Its commonly known that 2 or more remotes confuse and intimidate women, allowing men to watch TV in peace w/out being nagged to watch TV shows they don't want to watch.

it's so that when you button-mash because it's all going to hell you have more chances of hitting that mute button

You know, ther ARE multifunction, touch screen remotes starting at $100 that will do everything those remotes do, right?

A good cheap one is the Sony AV-3000. It can be found online for about $115 delivered, and it does anything and everything those remotes do once you set it up.

 

[Spamela]

if i don't control the remote, then the channel keeps switching to LifeTime (shudder).
