[3] DVD
[4] Surround sound speakers

It's fine most of the time, you just use the TV one... but watching a DVD with the speakers on = controllorama.

Sky remote (digisender) upstairs
Video upstairs
PC sound system in parlour
DVD player in sitting room
TV in sitting room
Video in sitting room
HiFi amp in sitting room

If you're gonna count all the remotes in the house it works out at about 8.

mm.ie

1. I have 1 only 1. Its for a camera thingy and i always thought it was a bit sad, I mean a remote control for a camera means that really sad people can take photos of themselves....

I don't own a tv/video/dvd etc so that seems to be where you all get most of yours!

Maybe I am the sad b****rd, and i need 10 remote controls...maybe, just maybe

Bard

hmmm...

at home:
3 for stereos
2 for videos
1 for DVD player
1 for TV
1 for cable decoder

at work:
1 for digibox
1 for (2) TV's
and sh*tloads of remotes that don't work any more

I got worried when I hit 7, then invested in a Philips Pronto - great piece of kit, and with so many pre-made configs avaiable for download from the web it's very easy to setup.

I am indeed sick.
You should see the fun I have when I'm drunk and trying to figure out what controls what!

Lets see...
3 TV`s = 3 remotes
2 VCR`s = 2 remotes
AV amp = 1 remote
DVD player = 1 remote
Minidisc deck = 1 remote
CD player = 1 remote
Camcorder = 1 remote

Marantz learning remote for all the above... = 1 remote

Total = 11 (I also have 1 for the car stereo).

i got a greaty program for my palm pilot:
you aim the remote control you want to emulate at the IR port and press a button. The palm pilot learns the frequency and lets you assign it to a button.
You draw buttons on your 'desktop' and teach them a function.
You can have multiple destops for your different remotes too.
handy.

Corega

Lets see.....

1) T.V. / Video in my room
2) The other T.V. upstairs
3) T.V. downstairs
4) Video downstairs
5) Hi-Fi downstairs
6) Whilst I unlike some people do not own a d.v.d. player or a satelite I however do have a remote that mutes my grandmother:D:D:D:D:D

Saruman

In my room
1 Digibox
