Post by: Sly Red on October 15, 2009, 11:19:04 AM: I've never done it. Had to look at the cable box to see if it was even possible. It is, but it would take a while to go from Channel 2 to 296 :*))

Post by: Timmay on October 15, 2009, 02:39:57 PM: I havent in a long time. I am like you though..I lost the remote a few nights back. Well I DIDNT LOOSE It...the kids did. I searched the whole house for it. I was looking under every chair, every bed ( while everyone was trying to sleep and I was waking them up)...even got the dogs out of their kennel thinking that they were dead if htey picked it up and were chewing the hell out of it in their kennel..but no remote.
I checked outside on the front porch because some little girl ( i wont mention names) likes to carry it off to unknown places. One time we found the remote in one of her little carry bags that was haning on her bed post.
So anyways, I searched and searched, after about 40 minutes.. and couldnt find it....si I didnt turn the tv on I said SCREW IT and went to bed

Post by: Stevo on October 15, 2009, 04:33:34 PM: I end up manually changing the channel on my converter box about once every couple weeks or so, usually when I'm standing right next to it and want to put the box back to my "home" channel.

Post by: Tyler on October 15, 2009, 04:35:37 PM: The problem is that the TiVo doesn't allow you to change the channels manually.

Post by: wpruitt on October 16, 2009, 05:33:21 PM: Actually, I just had to start doing it on the kitchen TV; the remote for the box died in the kitchen. I have no AAA's in the house. (Note to self: Pack of AAA's tomorrow at Kroger)
