I call mine, er, "The Remote Control".

What is remote? This for TV? I don't watch a TV so have no need to call it.

Hmm...

:scratch: :scratch:

I call it
"infrared control device for manipulating the necessary frequencies in the megahertz bandwidth for the purpose of watching the picture and listening to the sound from a particular station and also for adjusting various parameters that can be controlled such as intensity of sound level, sharpness of picture, contrast, brightness and so on."

LOL - I can see it now:

"Hey <INSERT_SIGNIFICANT_OTHER'S_NAME_HERE>, will you please hand me the infrared control device for manipulating the necessary frequencies in the megahertz bandwidth for the purpose of watching the picture and listening to the sound from a particular station and also for adjusting various parameters that can be controlled such as intensity of sound level, sharpness of picture, contrast, brightness and so on?"

I am an EE. I have a technical mind :D
