While I am watching cable/satellite TV, I can never remember which channel is which (AMC, TBS, MTV, etc). Now I cut and tape the channels (from provider's website) on the back of every remote. No more guessing.

That would work in daylight but I watch TV at night with just a nightlight in the corner of the room. I can usually feel my way around on the remote control to find the schedule of stations and programs. That's the only way other than going up and down channels.
After we changed cable providers we had new channel #'s plus many many more channels. I prefer to watch in HD and most of the channels I like are in HD but those have even different channel #'s that are a 4 digit number. A few I have memorized but no way on many more than that. What I did was to type up a list on a piece of paper that I keep on the end table next to where I sit. I put the channel # plus the name of the channel.
Hey, anything that helps you find your fave channels while learning your new channel numbers gets my vote! I'll need a similar solution starting next Tuesday, when we switch from Dish Network to cable for the first time in nearly 10 years. I'm still debating whether or not to bother with the HD channels. Neither hubby nor I see well enough for it to matter. However, I think I'll make a short list of our fave channels in large print.
