The TV-B-Gone Pro looks a lot like everyone’s favourite MP3 player, but cunningly conceals a long range universal remote control which can mess with just about any TV in the world. Operates from 110 metres distance and can run in ‘stealth mode’ where it automatically turns you invisible and creates a diversion with a blue elephant nearby. Really! $49.99.
The TV-B-Gone Pro looks like a small mp3 player, but contains eight infrared emitters that will turn off 90% of TVs in any country in the world. With the touch activated switch, you’ll be able to turn off any TV within a matter of seconds. It even has an instant reactivation feature so you can turn off many TVs in quick succession – perfect for causing havoc at your local electronics store or at the gym.
my SONY Clie has been able to for years to turn off – but more importantly change channels of a multitude of TV’s – turning off is one thing swapping channels and event activating DVD’s is more important.
