I know, you always have to know where the remotes are and that they are working for those special times you need them.

You beat me too. We really do have lots of remotes when you think about it. I can remember when there were none and you had to get up and walk all the way to the tv, that wasn't fun especially when you were really tired.

We have 7 remote controls. We have 3 televisions, 3 vcr's, and 1 for the cable box. I know this sounds terrible, but there are 3 people in the house and now we can each see a different show and record a show, if we are working or my daughter is at college.

I have 3 tv's and about 8 remotes but I only use 3 of these remotes. I just bought one the other day as a matter of fact a universal one!

I have one for the TV and one for the DVD player (which doesn't work) Other than that I am not one to have remotes lying around every where.

Five TVs, 1 surround sound, 1 stereo, 3 DVDs, 4 VCRs and 2 universals bought to try to get the whole mess under control. Of course we can never find one when we need it.
Oh, and I almost forgot, my fan has a remote too.

Hey! Where's my Oscar? LOL. I guess I should clarify that right now, through a series of odd events, I have all three of my grown children and some of my grandchildren living with me, thus all the electronic gear. As for the batteries, my son gets them wholesale thank goodness cuz I go through about 20 of them a week just in the camera.

I have four as well. TV, DVD, Cable and sound system. I like having them because I get to control them all the time. For some reason the rest of the family can't comprehend more than one. Guess it's a guy thing, having the remote is having the power...lol.

Oh Lordy in my house, 5 TV's, and everything included. Who can keep track. Let me step away for a moment and count.. These days everything has a box. Not like the old day's when we had to get up and change the channel, and we didn't have cable or all the video games that we now have. Please I don't mean to sound old, but I have seen so much happen in our world, things I never would of thought of lol. And I said I'll never get that.. But lo & behold I did. I'm just awaiting the next box to overtake my home. Darn I'm still waiting to get a Rosy the Robot, that I ordered from the Jetsons. there again another box, but well worth it.

hmm, ouch, we have 2 tv's (that we actually watch), 2 dvd players, 1 vcr, 2 univerasal remotes, which allowed us to put away the dvd remotes, the vcr remotes, but we have a remote for the stereo, and one for the tv that my hubby plays his video games on but that remote is not used often...universal remotes are fantastic, BUT you have to make sure to puch the right button to control what you want to control...the vcr button, the tv button, and the dvd button, THAT can bug you if you're not paying attention!! ha ha!!
