when i was a little kid, i believed i could control the Television and what channels it went on, but only at my grandparents house (because it was a bigger and better TV then ours). i would sit up real close and say 'channel 4' or 'channel 23' and it would go to those channels, i would tell it to go quite or loud, and turn it on and off. the sad part is, it was actually just my grandfather standing behind me with the remote control. i was devestated when i found out a year or so later.
