When was the last time you physically got up and changed the TV channel on the TV...

Without the remote? I can not IMAGINE doing that! Getting up to change the Channel?......LOL! I grew up in the 1950's doing it! I doubt I even know where the on off button is on the TV!

When ever the remote battery dies, and I don't have a spare?

Used to think the remote was for lazy people - Now, it's been years since I changed the channel manually!

I almost think I would forgo TV if I had to change the channel manually. How spoiled and lazy I have become!

I have no idea where the buttons are...

I keep a large stock of all size batteries on hand so I can quickly fix my remote....lol....as a matter of fact I just bought a new supply last weekend...as mine was getting low....

Lol...usually the main buttons (on/off, volume, channel changer, etc) are located in a somewhat hidden area. Sometimes under a panel, or on the side of the tv.

I change the volume manually on the bedroom tv because it doesn't work on the remote.

I don't ever manually change the channel, but if I can't find the remote in my middle of the night coma, I will get up to shut it off. Which is usually pawing at the sides until it goes off.
