With the Tivo remote. Don't get me wrong, it's a fantastic piece of equipment, ergonomic, smooth and relatively intuitive. My qualm is with these two buttons near the top of the remote. One's green with a "thumbs up" and the other's red with a "thumbs down". Apparently these buttons are used to pass judgement on the programs one watches and likes and I suppose the programs you watch and don't particularly like (why you would take the time to do this I don't know). Not only can you "like"and "dislike" programs, you can do so up to 3 times for each one, you know, just in case you forget how much you really like this certain show, or perhaps how much you really, really, really dislike it. It's really quite a silly thing but it has become an interfamily battle of the "likes" and "dislikes". My younger siblings will "like" crap shows like Johnny Test and Hannah Montana, and then either my sister or I will come along and neutralize their support with our triple thumbs down, which is impossible for any individual to do for hopefully obvious reasons. This is often what my early Saturday mornings consists of sadly, going through each channel making sure nothing I disapprove of is liked, because god forbid I have a guest watch TV and pass judgment on my own personal tastes based on false two thumbs up for "Daisy of Love".
