Public Service Announcement

I don't know how many of you suffer from "remote control dysfunction", but in our house this is a frequent problem. When watching TV in our bedroom the remote controlling the satellite has to be held at the perfect angle and position to be effective and if someone is on the right side of the bed, you are totally out of luck. FRUSTRATING!!!

If you experience these difficulties, I have the answer to solve your troubles. DO NOT point the remote towards the television, DO NOT point the remote towards the receiver, DO NOT point the remote towards the dish...DO point the remote against your body. Seriously, put the remote up to your chin, your chest, your leg (the fatty part works better), really just about anywhere. I know this sounds like a Crazy Witch Doctor Remedy, but if it works WHO CARES???

My sister, Larinda, tried this and was not as successful as I was. I had her try it while we were on the phone: Maybe her cell phone interfered, quite possibly she was doing it wrong, or maybe she isn't as magnetic as me.

This discovery may have just saved my marriage (studies show that disputes over the remote control are the leading cause of divorce). I wish you all the same success I have experienced.

I thought you had comcast? I have had a few lousy remotes from them but it mostly was just a delay problems. Computers and all.

I had a friend who would do that with my car remote. Why does that work? I'm so stumped.
