2. Actually, I Don't Mind "Giving Up" Control Of The Remotes...
... most of our TV-watching is stuff that our ReplayTV DVR has pre-recorded for us. Whoever has the remote control is the one responsible for fast-forwarding through the commercials. It's much nicer to have someone ELSE do that for me.

3. I almost yanked the remote from my roommate last night...
He was doing that "surfing at light speed" thing...you know, where you can barely see what the show even is before the channel is changed.

I realized, though, that there WASN'T anything on last night...so I went in my room and read for awhile. :-)

4. The Cats
They like things with buttons. They also play with my CPAP.

5. Since I live alone, I have full control of the remotes.
I have three one for the TV, one for the satellite and another for the DVD.

6. Other:
We don't have a remote; we actually have to manually change channels, etc. :P
