GRAND ISLAND, NE—In an effort to ensure their visitor was completely comfortable and conversant with all entertainment amenities, houseguest Brian Heatley was thoroughly briefed Thursday on the TV remote’s “Input 1” and “Input 2” modes and their corresponding effects on the family entertainment system. “Okay, one is for TV, and two is the DVD player. If it’s not working, it might be on AUX, so just keep hitting ‘source’ until you get there,” said homeowner Pete Sabin, who also provided further instruction on how to operate the Roku. “If, for whatever reason, you can’t find the remote, there are also buttons right here on the side of the TV where you can change the input manually. If anything seems weird, just give us a shout upstairs.” Heatley politely thanked his host before spending the rest of the night watching Netflix on his laptop.
