Dont' even get me started on the basket that sits on top of the entertainment center that holds all the dead soliders!!!

I have 4: 1) TV; 2) Cable Box/DVR; 3) DVD player; 4) Stereo/Surround System.

OK, so he's not the only one. Let me ask this...do you make your wife go back in forth between the channels that are HD and arn't just so she can see the difference in quality? EVERY NIGHT? (Honestly, he gets mad if I say I can't see a difference! Sometimes I do it just to see him have a fit!

I hate having more than one.

I have 3 remotes for the tv stuff. However, I programmed my cable box remote to control everything, so I don't even break the other remotes out of the cabinet. Answer - I use only one.

In our family room, we also have 3 but like SJ we programmed the DishTV remote and control TV, VCR, and the cable with one. Unless we play the "Scene It" Jr game (it requires a DVD) and then we have to break out the other 2 to control the TV input and....never mind :roll:

In our AV room in the basement where we have the big TV and surround sound system, we have 3/4 and we need them all because the Dish remote can't do everything and the AV receiver remote can't either so we just use anwhere from 2-4 depending on the media we are using.

oh, ktchris...I feel your pain! We have a room that I call the "Penis Room"....HUGE TV, pool table and about 300 hundred remote controls. I have never been able to learn how to turn that TV on!!! My daddy loves that HD...my husband is not in to TV that much, but man, PawPaw does that back and forth thing too...I just grin and say..."wow, that's quite a difference!"
I picked the control with the fewest buttons and had the Direct TV guy program it for me! Boys love their gadgets...watch out now!
