    TV Assholes **LANGUAGE/RANTY**

    To the "Technically Inclined" Person,

    Dude, I get that after so long you were told to get a router and other equipment to connect your receiver to the internet for downloading on demand shows. But to continue arguing me about dumb shit and stuff that I have no fucking clue on how your Gerry rigged setup "worked fine" until now is fucking ridiculous! Don't talk to me like I don't know shit, I'll have you know I have been doing tech support for 2 1/2 years motherfucker and I was trained for it formally and by the school of hardknocks, so eat a dick!

    Sincerely,

    -Me


    To The Remote Bitch,

    Look here, "Lady" I spoke with your significant other to program the remote, I did ALL the codes for your cheap piece of shit "brand" TV (that sounds like the name of a cheese) which didn't work and now you wanna harangue me for not giving enough codes?!! Fuck off, bitch! I even gave you all the codes like you asked, you didn't ask me for any steps with the codes, so don't talk to me like I wasn't doing shit all okay! I get that you pay monthly for the service, but not everything is free so don't bitch to me that you have to pay for a tech to come out and help your stupid entitled ass over programming your remote! Newsflash! Nobody works for free!

    Sincerely,

    Me

    Some of these people need to be booted back to 1959, when a remote control had exactly two buttons on it, one for on/off/volume and one for channel up. Let's see them screw that up.

    (Yes, my grandmother had one of those. Both grandmothers, in fact, though the other grandmother's had four buttons: luxury! Power, channel up, channel down, and I have no clue what the fourth button did.)

      If it's anything like my first TV's remote, the other button would likely be 'mute'. I had power, mute, ch up, ch down, vol up, and vol down.

      Thank goodness we now have direct channel entry - 500 channels would not be fun going up, up, up, etc.

        I do not even remember what brand this was, but for my first VCR back in the early 1980's the remote was hardwired to the VCR itself. NO IR or radio signals, just a wire.

            I almost relish the days of 13 channels.
            Less crap was on because the producers didnt have as many channels to play with.

              I had one of those! Mine was a Sears. That VCR was a tank; I don't think we retired it until the late 90's.

                  QFT! Our first VCR was a Betamax and I think it had a wired remote as well. And push buttons on the box itself for changing channels, etc.

                      We had a Fischer-Price VHS VCR with a wired remote, that blasted cord must have been 20 feet long >_<

                        My first "remote" was lying on my back in front of the TV changing the channels with my toes.

                          Ah, the days of vertical control and fine tuning. Remember how the picture would flip, over and over and over? I imagine some of you don't even know what I'm talking about

                            Whippersnapper, you had it lucky! I once had a TeeVee that used only ONE channel-changer dial -- VHF was pre-set, but you had to fiddle with this tiny little dial to assign the UHF channels >_<

                            The sad thing is, I think it may actually have had a remote (it's been awhile)...usable only for turning it on/off and volume control.

                              Ha! I remember that! And the color control? We used to play with that and turn the newscasters green or purple

                              My mom had a portable that lasted forever. The channel changer knob broke off and she used to keep a pair of needle-nose pliers to change the channel!
