Random Remote Button
Because in 3 years when we have a million channels it wouldn’t matter how good your memory is....... | |
I'm a causal TV guy. I find it hard to know the subtle details of the 75+ channels we get. But 3 years from now when we have a million channels there will be no way I would have any clue on what to watch. It’s for this reason I propose the random remote button. Much like its ‘shuffle’ cousin on winamp.
One press and instantly the TV system will place you on an unknown location; it could range from commercials on girls that have clearly gone wild to food that’s cooked in a battlefield... or something.
Gives whole new meaning to TV epiphany.

Google for channel surfing. |

I find the "Next Channel" as random as anything. |

TV shows in the States often cause me to turn the damn thing
off, but a random button might delay such causality. |

Do you have anything against derivative transvestites? |
