one of my dogs will stop anything is doing if there's police siren's on tv., he goes in front of the tv, sit and watch everything going on until the sirens sounds stop, if it come back later, he come back and do exactly the same...strange. Must have been a cop in another life (ha! ha!)

All my pets do. I even had a mouse in my house once that would sneak into the living-room and sit under a chair and watch TV.
Watch out if you watch animal planet. If they have the show where animals are injured, your dog will be able to understand what is wrong with the dog on TV. We had to change the channel once, they had a show where a puppy had been burned, ooh, scared my dog half to death, he didn't like it at all. He was shaking so bad.
We also have Yahoo Messenger with voice, so funny, my daughter was at her dads, and her pup was on my bed, we were IM back and forth, she started talking and that dog went crazy trying to find her, looked all around my lap-top, under the bed, LOL, it was hilarious.

My professor's dog used to watch football on TV. The quarterback would throw the ball and the dog would go running into the kitchen to "catch" it. LOL

No. He's pretty darned smart (a Golden Retriever), but no. However, I have a 25 pound cat (it's not fat, he's just huge), who loves to sit on my lap and watch TV. He's especially interested in commercials.

If you use a dog training device it would be common sense to first look up how to use it before using it. Such devices get a bad reputation by people using it, without knowing how to use it.
If you give a dog a shock, the dog doesn't know what to do. If I go up to you and slap you, you wouldn't know why either and except for the likely impulse to slap me back you would have no idea why I slap you and what I expected you to do so I won't slap you again.
Your dog doesn't even know where the slap came from and what he is supposed to do. Before you use an electric collar on a dog you need to figure out the lowest setting the dog can notice. You start at zero and slowly set it higher until you see a reaction from your dog. What you are looking for is a twitch of an ear, or a startled look. Really, you don't want to hurt your dog, you want to get your dog's attention.
Once you established what level works for your dog, you need to condition your dog. If you want to use a collar for improving your dog's recall, your dog needs to already know what it is supposed to do when you call "come" (or whatever command you use). Now with a collar on, you call your dog, you can give your dog a short shock, but if your dog comes you stop immediately. You want that your dog learn he is in control. If he comes, he won't get a shock. Read up on "how to condition a dog to a electric collar" and don't use the collar again until you understood it.
I have an electric collar for my dog, but I paid a little more than $200 for it, it is rechargeable and I am happy with it. I've read through a whole bunch of reviews for the cheaper collars and they seem to not last very long, though you can get lucky. But I figured I rather spend more one time than a little often.
My dog is also very happy with the electric collar, because if I pull the collar out, he knows he is doing something more fun than a walk on a leash and he loves running off leash.
