I just started channel surfing in the "down" direction and it felt really weird.

I guess I usually go "up" without thinking about it.

So I thought I'd post a pointless thread. Thanks!

I surf up, but have the dish remote set up so when I press the "up" button, it changes to the next highest channel. My hubby says that that is backwards? He says that it should be the other way around. I disagree. I went to my best friends house and when you press the channel button that is pointed up (towards the infrared spots) it goes to the next lower channel. Am I mixed up or are they?!?!?!?!

I don't really channel surf...with Direct TV, I just scroll down the guide to see what's on...

See, that's another area that my hubby says I'm backwards! On our Dish remote, I have the guide set up so when I'm in the guide, if I press the down arrow, it goes to the next larger channel. So I guess my mind is just all confused on the channel surfing department! LOL!

Women. They can never channel surf correctly.

Our dogs ate the remote. Again.
So we consult the tv guide that comes in the Sunday paper.

Our puppy's are luddites.

Neither. I go around. I know what channels are likely to hold something of interest, so I go to those...NFL Channel, ESPN, Discovery(s), History, etc...

Hmm, it depends. Mostly up I guess.

With digital cable I don't have to change the channel to surf so it depends on what channel I am starting from.
