First day at the Y today, and Fox is on half the screens in the gym.

[riqster]

No wonder people are so misinformed.

[taterguy]

1. What was on the other half?

How many screens are we talking about?

Who controls what channel the TVs are on?

[riqster]

4. ESPN and CNN

I caught up on DU on my phone instead of watching the TeeVee,

2. Complain. Ask for MSNBC, CNN or the local news. nt

[riqster]

5. Turns out, those are channels chosen by the peeps using the gym.

Sound is off, thank the gods.

7. You Need One Of These...

Your TV-B-Gone® universal remote control resembles other TV remote controls, but is different in two important ways. First, it only has a power button that allows you to switch a TV on or off. You control when you see, rather than what you see. Second, the device is so small that it easily fits in your pocket, so that you have it handy whenever you need it wherever you go: airports, bars, restaurants, laundromats, etc.

8. Oh yeah.

I want one!!!

9. Tell them change it or you want your money back and go to another gym.

Did you sign up for exercise or propaganda? If you paid for one and are getting the other demand your money back.

10. I just made a joke about Fox and then ignored it.

11. If you can find the remote you can have some fun with this

I think it was someone here who pointed this little scheme out but it may have come from elsewhere. I got to use it once and if you can do the same you will find it greatly satisfying. I have only done it once, at a local doctor's office. It was the only time the remote control was available.

Anyway, here is what you do. Find the Menu button on the remote and then find the Parental Control. Once your'e there first set a password and then block out the FOX channel. Exit the menu and congratulate yourself for saving the world, one poor TV viewer at a time.

12. Awesome! Nt

[ProdigalJunkMail]

13. yes ... congratulate yourself

for blocking access to stuff you don't agree with. what a fucking childish thing to do...

sP

[1-Old-Man]

14. Yep, and great good fun too.

I do not let my grandchildren play with guns and I do not let my neighbors be subject to lies. Great good fun.

[ProdigalJunkMail]

15. then you need to turn it ALL off

but you knew that... you just approve of some of the lies.
