I think this would be a cool little gadget. Mostly for Novelty use, but still pretty cool. Check it out: TV-B-Gone I can just think of some poor teacher trying to get the TV to stop turning off for a presentation at a school... Your seat in a restraunt too close to the bar & televisions? Walking through a Best Buy, Circuit City, or other electronics store? Husband watching to much sports? Wife watching boring talk shows? It'd probably get old pretty quick... but hey it was good for a few laughs.
Back in the day I used a universal remote to drive the teachers crazy. Hours of entertainment at a fration of the price
I just noticed this I kind of think someone will notice this since it has to be pointed directly at the TV for a minute and a half. They give two scenarios which can only end in disaster: Sports Bar - Get beat up or stabbed (If Shawn is there) Airport - Pointing a device for long periods of time will probably result in a cavity search
I made the mistake of having a TV installed in my office. I have seen every episode of "Friends" and I dont even like the show!
90% of TVs shut off in 17 seconds or less... the other 10% can take up to 69 seconds. I think a good universal remote would be good as well, but you have to program them first right?
