to want to wire up the buttons on the telly to the mains?

[fryalot]

ds has discovered that things happen when he presses the buttons....

It's on, it's off, it's on, it's off, it gets turned over just when you are interested in something, it gets turned up to ear-splitting level, it gets turned down so you can't hear anything, you get static because he's put on channel 8.

I hid the remote controls to stop him doing this from the settee and now can't find them so I have to keep getting up to sort it out!

I turned it off at the plug but he saw me and turned it on again!

arrrgggghhh!
anyone want to buy a second hand tv?

lol i remember those days all to well

the answer is to tape his hands behind his back and just as hes watching cbeebies or whatever he likes keep changing the channel

and no YANBU

Squonk, there might well be a 'lock' you can activate once you find the remote, which means you can only operate the telly using the remote. I have done this for a couple of years now as Ds used to do the same. He could still turn it off at the main switch but not muck about with the channels/volume etc.

You can then put the remote high up on a shelf/ lock it in the shed etc.

Our worst bit was when DD discovered she could pull the sky card out. She soon lost interest in a flat bit of plastic so it got accidentally shoved under the rug.....

DH was blase saying oh well what is it if we miss some CBEEBIES etc.

But you can imagine the frantic searches DH made when Liveropol were on Sky Sports later that evening and it still had'nt tunred up

Just purely by chance he spied a tiny corner of it poking out and managed to get the game on 5 minutes in

DD is past all that now, but DS is just realising there are bits to push and pull over by the big box with the bright colours

(half expected the MN police to jump on me from a great height for this one! - still, give it time )

YANBU. I would love to not have a TV (and 10 month DS doesn't bother with it yet). But my DP is a bloody square eyed freak so he won't let the TV go.

Oh the thought of just listening to Radio 1 / 4, bliss.

I listen to the radio through the sky on the telly!!!

(at least the little fecker angel is in bed now)
