    You must be very rich!


    Snow-Monkey, its your younger brother. Go over to him. Take the remote. Change the channel. Problem solved.

    Or

    Stream what you want to watch on to your laptop

    You should watch it with them. Notting Hill is a decent flick.

    Wait till they leave the room.

    Change the station.

    Reverse the batteries in the remote.

    They'll never cop on :pac:

    Let the lad have the TV. You can't have everything OP and by the sounds of it you are coming across as kinda spoiled

    i hate when people say "your on the laptop, you cant be watching TV as well"

    Oh course i fucking can, its easy.

    Just tell ur little bro to change the channel or you will. Then when he doesn't (he wont if he is anything like mine), you have every right to hit him, he was warned. Then he will change it very fast

    I've been subjected to mindless drivel on occasion from siblings.

    Turn on, tune in, drop out-that's how I take care of it.

    That works for work as well.:pac:
