Pluggers by Rick McKee for May 17, 2017

I think in the Flintstones’ case, one button: the little bird in the device controls all those functions by flying towards the unit and turning the dials.

Add one more, the “flashback” or “repeat” button. That’s how a plugger watches 2 shows at once.

But wouldn’t that be 6 buttons: channel up and down and volume up and down as well as power and mute?

Since I have a DVR I also record and playback too.

And to save time scrolling, you need ten more to tell it which channel you want.

I’m a true plugger. I walk up to the TV and change the channels that way.

I don’t record or scroll.

I use mute, especially during election season. And for channels I watch frequently (especially locals), I dial direct.

Our mute button is practically worn out out from over use.
