Don't worry guys:

I got this.
Redditor shd4807's father was having trouble with the power button. I really hope no one ever tells him about universal remotes, I would love to see what he comes up with next.

On the plus side, now you can make one of the doors lead to a room of angry tigers. For burglars. Or something.

From the submitter:
So I get up today and the kids are up before me watching TV. That's fine, it Sunday, got to sleep in, figured I go check my email and puts around online for a few. Later I go into the living room, to turn the TV so I can start watching Game highlights before the Super Bowl, but can not find the remote. I mean I searched everywhere. The usual places... In the couch cushions, under the couch, behind the couch and behind the TV.... nowhere to be found.
