I use my remote extensively to change channels during commercials or just to mute the audio. If I didn’t have the remote I probably wouldn’t watch TV. I have switched my TV off while I was watching a program I made a special effort to see. Too many commercials on it in the first few minutes. Today, you get as many commercial minutes as you do program minutes. And TV stations wonder why they lose viewers. Sorry, my age and ethnicity will not be divulged.
