My Dad had 5 remotes, six if you count my Mom. I really can't remember ever seeing him get out of his chair and change the channel. By the time we were all grown and moved out TV's came with real remotes. Well actually the cable came with that box that you puched all those buttoms on for a different channel and a wire that was long enough to go across the whole house.
