In 2002 I stayed in a hotel where the TV turned on whenever I turned on the bathroom lights.
The TV was angled so that its IR sensor was aimed towards the bathroom door. I always assumed that it was just interference from the bathroom lights starting up just happening to make the same IR pattern as the ON button on the remote.
- ocfnash 6y agoI think it's unlikely the lights happened to send the right IR pattern. I once hooked a TV remote up to a logic analyser to have a look and here's how the on/off signal looked for this brand: http://olivernash.org/2010/01/03/the-telly-terminator/rc6-6-32_onoff_signal.png http://olivernash.org/2010/01/03/the-telly-terminator/rc6-6-... Some further details here: http://olivernash.org/2010/01/03/the-telly-terminator/ http://olivernash.org/2010/01/03/the-telly-terminator/ Of course it's still possible!
