I'm in the same situation! I can't understand how my family switches  
through thirty-something TV programmes!

Some years ago our old TV set broke. The new one had no buttons to  
switch programmes. And the cable delivered thirty-something! I did  
not care, the important programmes like arte, 3sat, BR, WDR I could  
easily reach. And for the others I had my folks. One summer I had to  
stay at home while the family was on holidays (I was offered to come  
later in my car). Now I had a problem! From my car, a big truck, I  
was used to twenty-something gear programmes, en route on route  
national 7 or German autobahns. No problem to switch! But that damned  
TV set, it had no gear box! Being a born mechanic (and Elisp  
programmer) I could easily dismantle my truck's gear and take it up  
home (second floor). Now, stupid TV set, I'll teach how to switch  
programmes! No dice…

OK, I did not solve the programme, uhm, problem last millennium, I  
could get away into holidays, so that I still don't know whether I  
have to bring the whole TV set into the truck or the complete truck  
into the living room…

It actually still puzzles me! (Dancing my onze danses pour combattre  
ma migraine.)
