I know what you mean about "hard to watch" without one. We were at my folks house not too long ago and my daughter was watching TV. I heard a loud disgusted sigh come from her direction and I asked her what was wrong. She had to go to the bathroom and was frustrated because she couldn't pause the TV.

I find myself wishing I had the pause and rewind features on my car stereo. Wouldn't that be great when your favorite song was on!
