Now there's a topic for another thread. So, are you in a duplex? Is there a space/time wormhole? Is the side of your house where the TV is shaped like a gigantic dish which, when combined with the same shape on the other person's house, results in sound being transmitted at relatively low volume until they coalesce at the dish and recombine into a much stronger sound wave? You say you can barely hear it from your kitchen. Is your kitchen roughly a kilometer from the TV? He's complaining about the time, have you adjusted for the time zone difference?
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
