A lovely human interest story today regarding Prince Philip and his TV Remote Control. It seems he needs to get the help of his 10 year old Grandson to work out how things are done otherwise he ends upon the floor, with a torch and magnifying glass.
I know how he feels.
We spent several hours trying to connect the TV, Set-top box, DVD Recorder and Video together one day. Both of us have science degrees and the kids decided they had better stay away just in case of collateral damage. But eventually all the devices worked. Picture, sound, and recording TV programs - great.
But now we have the remote control problems. One for the set-top box, one for the TV and one for the DVD-Recorder. MM now has to put his glasses on and check to see which one is in his hand and which buttons to press to find which analog or which Digital station. Not to mention the blank screen with music which happens when he is not looking properly
So I made a diagram to try and explain the whole thing. Nobody uses it: they all call me. Mum, come and fix the TV pleeeeeease!
So much for 3 Degrees and 1 PhD. No diploma of TV Remote Controls for us! Haven't yet got to the grandson stage but I'm sure they will be needed.
