Switch channel

[tufguy]

Hi guys,

If I want to watch any channel or programme, but some other person has remote, so what should I say. "Please switch that channel"?

"Please change channels", is possible.

Or "please change the channel".

I'd specify what I wanted to watch.

'Please put the football on'.

'Can we watch EastEnders?'

In BrE, you'll hear "Can you turn the TV over please?" Admittedly, that doesn't specify which channel you now want to watch so it's not much help. "Can you turn over to BBC2/ITV/Gold/SkySports" would be much more helpful.

"To turn over" in relation to a TV does not mean to pick up the TV and turn it upside down! :-D

Or "please change the channel".
