How many remote controllers do you have?

[Oeditpus Rex]

Count 'em up — but only those you still use, even just once in awhile. Don't count the ones for appliances that are making dust bunnies somewhere.



I have eight:

• Teevee (2)

• DVD player

• VCR

• Digital teevee tuner

• Bedroom fan

• Car stereo, fer cryin' out loud.

• Teevee antenna rotor (wired, but still remote).



:freak:

[MrCoffee]

1. Just 4. I feel so relatively inferior now.

[Oeditpus Rex]

2. Hell, dude

I was thinkin' fewer is better. :crazy:

[mcctatas]

3. well, let me think

3 for my TV's
2 for stereos
2 for a/c's
1 for my computer
so that makes 8, but do remote controlled toys count because that would bring the total up to like 20

[skygazer]

4. Eight

You had to ask that - I had no idea we had that many. :rofl:

2 TV's

2 VCR's

DVD

Analog converter box

Stereo

Air conditioner

[dem629]

5. 4. Two TVs, a DVD player and a VCR (I still have tapes I watch sometimes. Yikes) n/t

[graywarrior]

6. Let's see:

Tv

Cable

Video

Audio control

Stereo

Electric Fan

Garage opener

3 others that I have no idea what they are for

I have ADD, so all these remotes make me want to cry

[Oeditpus Rex]

9. '3 others that I have no idea what they are for'

reminds me of a Stephen Wright joke. :D

[graywarrior]

11. I'll take that as a compliment as I stand here scratching my head gazing upon

those remotes.

[Oeditpus Rex]

13. Since you asked...

it went something like this:



"I found a light switch in my kitchen that didn't seem to do anything. I'd turn it on and nothing would happen. I did this every day for three months. Finally, I got a letter from a guy in Chicago that said, 'Knock it off'."

[graywarrior]

15. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

One time I lived in an apartment and the guy upstairs used to play his stereo loud all night. So one night when Mr Gray was over, he called the guy and told him he was calling to complain about the noise, that he was calling from Revere (city about 20 miles from where we were) and he could hear it from there and that all his neighbors were pissed and wanted him to turn it down.

Poor guy did not know what to say. I died laughing.

7. I'm afraid to count all mine up

I'm sure I have some that I no longer even have the devices they control. I just throw them all into a basket which I keep inside a closet.

All except my Harmony Remote, which is really like the One Ring in the LOTR.

One remote to control them all.

[supernova]

8. 6 all together

2 TVs
1 Sound system
1 DVD player
1 Tivo
1 CD/Radio jam box

I would have a 2nd remote for an old stereo that I still use, but it was broken in an argument long ago.

[Shakespeare]

10. Looks like we've got 11. ELEVEN. God help me.

1 for the TV
1 for the DVR/Cable box
1 for the DVD player
2 for the Bose in the living room
1 for the air conditioner in the living room
1 for the Bose in the bedroom
1 for the Bose iPod dock in the bedroom
1 for the air conditioner in the bedroom
1 for the CD changer in my car
1 for the Sirius transmitter in my car

Edited because I can't fucking count. :eyes:

[Oeditpus Rex]

12. I haven't yet gotten a remote for my XM

That may be next.



:freak:

[fizzgig]

14. just two

one for the tv and the other for the dvd player. i do wish, though, that i could find one for the stereo. we run the dvd audio through the stereo and i'm tired of having to get up to adjust the volume so that i can hear the dialogue and not have my ear drums blown out by the music or special effects.

i've found only one web site that sells remotes for the stereo we have but i'm not paying $30 for a damn remote x(

[Nickster]

16. Just one, it was expensive, but it was a great investment. I have a Logitech Harmony remote and it

controls everything. If you keep your eyes open, you can get one on sale. I picked mine up for 60 bucks. After spending ten bucks here and there for "universal" remotes that never controlled everything, it was sooooo worth getting the Logitech one. You hook it up to your computer and type in the model numbers of everything you have and then program it to turn on the tv, set the input, turn on the vcr, whatever you need with just one button.

[Dangerously Amused]

17. Zero. Unless you count the garage door opener.

[crispini]

18. One. That's why Radio Shack invented universal remotes.

Ok, actually, I do have another one in the bedroom for the TV there.

[LynzM]

19. Four.

TV, VCR/DVD, and two for the iPod dock speakers, since we had to exchange the dock when it broke, and forgot to return the first remote.

[Lucian]

20. Two: one for the tv and one for the cable.

[lifesbeautifulmagic]

21. my husband has 1,367,899

i am totally serious. drives me crazy

[MajorChode]

22. I wish I had one for my wife

or at least a mute button.

[lifesbeautifulmagic]

23. you know,

that is EXACTLY what he said.

[MajorChode]

26. We all think alike you know

It's kinda like research and rats. If you want to know the behavior of rats, all you need to do is come up with a group of rats (say 10 or so) and test their reaction to certain stimuli. Based on the study, you can accurately predict the behavior of all rats.

Men are much less complicated. You only have to study 3 or 4.

[femmocrat]

24. About a million.

We just got DirectTV and now we have a whole slew of remotes from TVs and VCRs that we no longer need. I even have old remotes stuffed in drawers, and I can't remember what they are for!

[crimsonblue]

25. One to rule them all

and in the darkness light them.
