Remote contols

I asked this question once before in another life, and was surprised at some of the answers
How many remote controls do you have, and use in the course of a day

Re: Remote contols

I believe I have 6. TV, Virgin, DVD, portable DVD, stereo and aircon. Most days I only use the 2 for the TV though. The stereo and portable dvd I never use as find it just as easy to use the controls on the units themselves. Won't be using the aircon one for many months either

Just the one Aitch

Re: Remote contols

I have four, but I no longer use the Sky box. My FreeSat remote also controls the Sony Bravia TV although it has it's own remote. I also have a Sony Blu-ray player with remote.

Re: Remote contols

Just the two. Virgin and because it won't alter the volume the TV one for that. I can't understand the DVD one, even though I've been told how to by an eight year old several times so just press the controls on the player.

Re: Remote contols

I can't imagine how people manage so many I have enough trouble with one

If I accidentally press a button when picking mine up it takes me ages to work out how to put things back as they were
Likewise when I can't find my specs and as I can't read the buttons without them, press buttons willy-nilly

Re: Remote contols

My daughter once bought me one of those huge silver novelty ones. Although I could never get it to speak to the Sky box.

Re: Remote contols

I think we have 8 remotes, but I avoid using the tv ones and let OH do it.

1 sky
1 dvd
1 tv in lounge
1 garage door
1 for tv in bedroom
2 remotes for music players
1 clock radio

Re: Remote contols

I think we have 6

1 TV
1 Sky
1 Blu-ray
1 Music Player
1 Mac
1 CH

Not all are used every day!

Re: Remote contols

1 - TV - doesn't get used
1 - Sky - used daily
1 - DVD - used occasionally
1 - Hi-Fi - hardly used

So it's only the Sky remote that gets used on a daily basis.
