In the UK our channels go to over a 100 if you include cable. I found that using a universal remote worked best with information button on the handset.

I’m just barely old enough to remember watching television with buttons on it. It seems like the fewer number of channels out of control today. I did not even know how many of me! Which means I have too many.

I always feel a little panic when people with digital TV hand me the remote and say, “Here, you can watch whatever you like,” because I’m all “NO!! I can’t FIND anything!”
And I am both my mother and my grandmother, simultaneously. And then I read my book.

Yes, i can see that. I think a new TV also. But one thing, old is gold.

I think you need a bigger TV
Get a LCD and a good remote

Tracy — I just cannot get over people growing up with only one channel. It’s incredible to me. I don’t know what new shows are on either, with our DVR. No time for new shows either.

I grew up with one channel. ONE. And I liked it.

Since Tivo, I don’t even know what the new shows are any more. I have my 3 shows that I watch and that’s that. I don’t know what I’ll do when those are finally canceled.

Cat Lady Larew — I finally figured out how to minimize the number of channels to surf through. There’s a thing called skipped channels. It took me ten minutes, but I was able to skip about 400 channels, so now what’s left are only the channels I want to see when I click through with the remote. Yeah!

Sherry — I know! The word ‘dial’ seems so antiquated to use. Good thing most of my readers are adults and would remember.

erin — That’s right. If you don’t know how many, there are TOO MANY!

SYC — I can’t remember a life without a remote. God bless the guy who invented it.

I do remember before remotes and also before TV. I remember our family was one of the first ones in the neighborhood to get TV. thanks…

Ha. I am just barely old enough to remember seeing a television with a dial on it and only having 12 or so channels. It does seem like the number of channels is getting a bit out of control these days. I don’t even KNOW how many I have! Which means I have too many.

One key word you used was “dial.” My children would have no idea why you used that word. They don’t even know that television sets had such things at one time.

Yes, I remember when most people had only 12 channels. That’s when we could receive only ONE!!!

I usually only select from the first 100 channels and even then, I only use about 6 channels regularly. My son actually knows what some of the other, higher numbers are. I haven’t a clue.

Auntie E — I have yet to figure out how to cycle through only the channels I’ve marked as a favorite. Seriously, there is no way I can channel surf otherwise.

Buggys — Yes and they’re charging us insane prices for the privilege.

meleah rebeccah – Count your blessings and hope they don’t make it worse!

FishHawk — Ha! Yeah, practically requires a degree now.

Mr. Grudge — The other channels are for you kids, don’t-cha know?

kathcom — That’s the beauty of DVRs or TiVo. You really don’t have to know the channel numbers. I typically watch all my programs recorded, not live. Yes, 1,129 is Bravo. Nope haven’t seen The Fashion Show. That’s cool you were in a focus group for it. Hubs and I were in one for a show that only aired a few times on TLC I think. Was like a game show involving a guy and a girl. The guy would look around her apartment/house and get a sense of her likes/dislikes and then pack a suitcase that captured that sense. If she liked what he packed, the show sent them on a week’s vacation together. Stupid concept, crappy show.

Melissa K — I have RCN. Honestly, I’m not even trying anymore to remember the numbers. On the HD set, we tend to hang out in the cluster of HD stations. On the other sets, I’m totally lost.

kathryn — I have to admit, I like watching almost anything in HD. Makes a big difference in my viewing experience. It’s so good, you can make out the stitching on the cap of baseball pitchers when they zoom in on his head. It’s amazing.

Anna — Sometimes I think people without cable are better off in many ways. Really, you’re not missing much. It’s mostly a habit for me. If I had to do without, I’d watch whatever I really wanted online.

Amy who loves a clear nose — Good for you! Hey, doesn’t Bravo offer up full episodes on their website? A lot of networks do. That’s how I caught up with Mad Men (AMC).

Got rid of cable, have 0 channels now. Although, miss Bravo!, love the time & freedom gained.
