Time to count up all of your remotes! Today we’re asking how many remote controls you have in one single room. For example, in our living room we have five remotes sitting on the table. It would make more sense to use one universal remote, wouldn’t it? Yet I haven’t come across one that I like enough to use. I’m sure you have your own reasons for not using a universal remote whether it’s the hassle of programming it to work just right for all of your gadgets, or if it’s like my excuse, that you haven’t found one that you like.
Before you count them up and vote, let’s re-cap our last poll where we asked which messenger service(s) that you use to talk with friends and family:
- Skype: 26% of the votes
- Windows Live Messenger: 22% of the votes
- AOL Instant Messenger: 14% of the votes
- Yahoo! Messenger: 14% of the votes
- Google Talk/Jabber: 14% of the votes
- ICQ: 11% of the votes
Skype definitely came out on top followed by Windows Live Messenger.
New Poll
It’s time for the new poll, so go count up those remotes. I’m interested to see just how many remotes you have in a single room, and why it is that you don’t use a universal remote to help reduce the number if you’ve got a mound of them sitting on a table like I do. Vote in the sidebar, or if you have Flash enabled, go ahead and vote below:
Wiimotes included? … 7
I own more than one but only one gets used. It’s my Harmony 880 remote which by the way is the absolute best universal remote in the world!
In my room, I have 3 remotes and 2 Wii Remotes. Out of the 3 remotes, I use 1 regularly, so the other two really don’t count.
I still can’t believe Skype beats Live Messenger.
More than 7:
2 ps3
4 wii
tv
vcr
amplifier
dvd
sat
… so 11
I have 5 in the living room:
Cable Box/DVR (the one I use the most)
DVD Player (second most used)
Reciever (hardly ever use)
TV ((hardly ever use)
CD Player (never use)
In my office I have a remote for my Bose Wave Radio.
Wow, and I thought we had a lot of remotes.
Some of you must have pretty full tables.
