Eno: No, dad. You only use the black remote to turn the tv on. The gray remote is the cable box remote. Eno: Use that to change channels, but first use the skinny remote to turn off the blu ray player. Eno: Our relationship has gone from child support to tech support.
Yeah, my dad was 96 when he passed away a couple years ago. Still able quite well actually, to live in his own home unassisted, but every now and then he would call me about his remote.
