Dual inputs

One of the things we got out of Mom’s satellite TV upgrade was a fancy new DVR and remote. We have to use that because we can’t reprogram our fancy universal remote because one of the kids knocked the USB connector out and it won’t physically connect anymore.

Corwin likes the new remote especially now that he has found the “side by side” feature. This lets him use our large display TV to display two different channels at the same time, each taking half the screen. He can only hear one of them but really, with modern television, he’s not missing much. Naturally, being a child of his mother, he flips the sound back and forth as his evanescent interest flits from one show to the other. On the other hand, at least this way when he is flipping around to avoid advertisements he can flip back just once as soon as they are over rather than checking out the progress every 10 seconds.

Or I can just hide in my office and keep my supper down.

It gets better when he and Mom argue about switching the sound because Mom is watching one or both of the shows as well.
