highvoltage Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 So the Under The Dome thread reminded me that I often get forced to watch shit I'm not interested in.I live with my girlfriend, my sister and her boyfriend. My sis doesn't have a TV in her upstairs loungeroom, so I often come home to find her boyfriend on my couch (he finishes work earlier than me), remote in hand, sports fishing on the screen.My girlfriend also watches shitty shows from time to time, but I make her sit through American Pickers and other History Channel garbage so I can't complain too loudly.So even though the TV in the lounge is mine, I often don't get to watch what I want. What's your situation? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunsguy Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 My 11 year old Then I do not watch much tv, until he is asleep, maybe my wife and I will catch a flick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnold layne Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 The parents don't watch TV and my brother has friends. That means I have complete control over the 54" Sony downstairs or the 32" Samsung in the family room. However, I don't watch TV unless it's football season and when even then, I plan on going to the bars anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Nova Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 (edited) I pay the bill. I do. But I am somewhat lenient about it and we have 4 tv's with HD boxes, so it's rarely an issue. Edited August 3, 2013 by Kasanova King Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estranged Reality Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 I don't really watch TV on the actual TV. I have a few shows I like to watch, and I usually download them and watch them on my computer. I save the TV for if I decide to watch my DVDs or Xbox.I've never been much of a channel flipper/browser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosaj Thing Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Actually I control the remote.There are 5 TVs in my house, pretty much everyone can watch whatever they want but when my girlfriend stays at home she steals it from me. Sometimes I get mad and go watch the movie I want to the living room because she likes some incredibly awful TV shows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalsh327 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Whoever pays the most mortgage or rent should control the TV, or have a life outside the house and stay active. I have DVR wars - stuff starts getting erased that I haven't gotten around to watching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Sabbath Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Just get a logitech remote. Then no one but you will know how to use it is logitech a bad brand? I was thinking of getting logitech blue tooth receiver. Not at all. I just made the remote joke because most of their universal remotes can be pretty confusing to use for people not familiar with them.

The amount of people I talk to who don't know how to work their equipment is astounding and equally as frustrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB. Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 (edited) The kids are. I hardly watch tv, neither does my husband. When we do, it's mostly sport or sport related talkshows. We agree on that, but in all fairness I am. Edited August 5, 2013 by MBRose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Comstock Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 My laptop, my TV, and I paid the cable bill. I controlled it.... Now we just use netflix, but it's still my stuff, so I still do. Also, I'm apparently a little OCD, the volume has to end in a 0 or 5, and my girlfriend got annoyed whenever she'd turn it up and I'd go "no, one more!"
