What do you call?

I have one remote to control all my hardware , lighting , blinds , security , heating and it even boild the kettle on command :)

I call it HAL

The wife calls it ... It
 
I call it the remote.

A friend of mines dad had about 5 or 6 remotes and he used to get really ****** off with losing all the time. He decided to sellotape them all to a big piece of card which was aptly named the control centre. They were never lost again. Never underestimate the genius of the middle age technophobe mind.
 
I call it the stevie controller (Stolen from Friends Joey calls this TV Stevie the TV) or just the button pusher.
 
In other news, the other day I pointed the zapper at the cat and said "Pause". I was very amused with myself. My wife groaned.

LOL, for some reason that got a chuckle out of me :D

or if im having a forgetful day i'll call it a "thingy" and act out the action of pressing the buttons

And that :eek:
 
Well the big one doesn't have a name, i don't like it much after we had a disagreement involving my sisters aim and my head. The one for the digital is the remote or the channel changer or the thing. The dvd/hd one is definatly the evil one and the video one is the video remote i thought while naming it such i was being descriptive.
 
We call ours Frank ('Zapper'), which is logical enough in an odd way. Unfortunately the other remotes are now called 'Moon Unit' and 'Dweezil' - which takes some explaining!
 
Personally i call it the "Remote Control" ground breaking stuff ehh :P. But people i know have used the following.

Channel flicker.
Telebox.
zapper.
