People who leave their remotes on top of their television will not have a hard time knowing where their remote is. After all, a remote that controls a device would be best suited to be on top of said device: A stereo remote is easily found on top of a stereo, a cordless mouse is easily found on a laptop and a TV remote is easily found on top of a TV. A popular urban myth exists, explaining that the electricity coming from a TV will somehow damage a TV remote. However, it is just a myth. The truth is that the heat that can emanate from a TV will drain the power from a TV remote's batteries. This will not damage the remote, but it will cause you to replace batteries more frequently. The best option is to leave the TV remote off the TV. This will allow the batteries in the remote to last longer and save money in the long run. Additionally, it is easy to create a consistent place for a remote other than on the TV. Lowcostbatteries.com: An Article on How Heat Can Affect BatteriesOn One Hand: Knowing Where Your Remote Is.
