How does this Change anything, they should both sacrifice each other's tv time for each other.
It's no big deal.

Re: Who Holds The Tv Remote Control In Your House by Sagamite(m): 10:22am On Mar 17, 2010
One of the greatest benefits of living on my own.

I can watch all the news channels, football, documentaries of life & struggles around the world, analysis of topical issues, widelife documentaries, documentaries on key events (e.g. financial meltdown, Zimbabwe, Micheal Moore likes, Louis Theroux ones), a select few series (e.g. Mad men, West Wing) and more news all day, without anyone moaning in my ears they want to watch Eastenders or Hollyoaks [Spits, out of disgust].  cheesy grin grin grin

Don't touch my remote control.

Thank God for this topic. It is helping us to know who are teenagers, young adults and MEN and WOMEN on NL, so that when they comment on other serious national issues, we will know if a child is talking or an adult is.  grin

I remember years back during my NYSC, I terrorized my nieces to no end. Once their dad is not around, i am the lord of remote. They dont like it, because all i watch is sports and news, but do they have choice, almighty uncle. That was until I saved enough alawi to buy a "14" tv for my room in BQ.

Now my daughter and her mother has sole authority of over the living room remotes, while I do my thing in the bedroom.
Re: Who Holds The Tv Remote Control In Your House by edogram1(m): 11:36am On Mar 17, 2010
Back then, everybody have is own remote, it’s a big fight watching TV the same time.
My brother holding remote and my sister pressing the TV itself until they ended up blowing the TV, Except my father is in and he watches news only, sometimes one with no remote will remove the light fuse outside of the house an move out with it,  there will be no light in watching anything. Trust my second brother he will find a cable wire to forge a fuse and reconnect it, and I will time the tv to off itself after 2mins and my sister or dad will not know how to do it. A big war then.

if my dad or brother is watching love firm and he turned back to see any body watching aswell he will quickly change it to news.

Re: Who Holds The Tv Remote Control In Your House by Nobody: 1:03pm On Mar 17, 2010
I hold the remote in my home. My mom doesn't have time for T.V each time she gets back from work, Pops is always gone and my sis only spends couple hours with the TV i.e Dr 90210 and Playboy mansion, that's about it!

Re: Who Holds The Tv Remote Control In Your House by Naijapikin(m): 5:43pm On Mar 17, 2010
After work and on weekends, the remote stays with me( we have agreement on that). I only watch 5 channels- News, Documentary, Hollywood, Cartoon and Sports. My wife has 2 channels- Bollywood and Nollywood.

For sake of our marriage, I take the pain to watch her channels, and I'm beginning to enjoy them!!

Re: Who Holds The Tv Remote Control In Your House by mufasa(m): 2:13pm On Mar 18, 2010
when people are talking about getting more than one TV set etc. But the max you can have is watch 2 different channels in 9ja and record a third. no be so? Say its a family of 6 now how will that work.
Me no send remote sha,i ve been weaned of my TV addiction, with sky plus HD, i can record all my fav programs and watch later when the kids are doing something else.

Men and sports.
If its not this championship it will be this club.
Re: Who Holds The Tv Remote Control In Your House by MissViola(f): 8:51pm On Mar 18, 2010
Truth be told, in my house,the first who gets the remote has power to watch what he/she likes. If another wants to watch something else,you simply have to politely request.

Re: Who Holds The Tv Remote Control In Your House by lastpage: 6:28pm On Mar 21, 2010
After the initial hiccups, everyone, including the kids have access to a TV with remote.
Our taste is so diverse, even my kids dont agree on the same program: One is Cartoon Network, Another wants to WWW Wrestling 24/7, Another one like that yeye channel that shows "Barbie Doll" (and l guess by now you know the gender!), wifey is always on Nigerian Movie channel, myself, l love footy and Discovery Channels!

So, you see, the only way to remain sane is to give everyone a chance and thank God, some 22" flat-screen cost less than 40K by in naira terms.

Such is what life has become but in my fathers days, "Daddy is in charge" and somehow, it brought a lot of balance into the family; everyone knows there level in the heirachy of things.
