TV-B-Gone
- Lammy 5y agoI used to do this in the early 2000s with my Palm PDA's IR blaster http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA005810/remocon/premocce.htm http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA005810/remocon/premocce.htm
- generj 5y agoMe too! My dad gave me an old PalmPilot when I was in middle school and as a punk kid I would do things like mute the TV for 5 seconds during in-class videos.
- mPReDiToR 5y agoUK superstore Tesco had TV's with adverts a few years back. I used to walk round the store with my WindowsMobile devices with IR and turn them off. Always hated advertosing.
- Arnt 5y agoA FOAF connected a TV-b-gone to an array of high-power LEDs, enough to turn off all the TVs in a large shop from inside a canvas bag outside the entrance. This, I think: https://www.timeexpander.com/img/extender2.jpg https://www.timeexpander.com/img/extender2.jpg I would have liked to borrow that and go for a walk ;)

- scamper 5y agoStill have mine. Used it a handful of times. Mostly worked! I wish they had a similar device to eradicate music from restaurants and cafes.
- atatatat 5y agoHeadphones (noise canceling, even!).
- scamper 5y agoI was going to say that it was sometimes hard to hold a conversation over the music, but two people with noise-canceling earbuds would definitely up the difficulty. (Or we could just call each other.) ;)
- jjeaff 5y agoThat could work. But I hate it when the audio is even a little bit out of sync with the video.
