TV B Gone

[Alpha Omicron]

The MAKE Blog had a mod for the TV B Gone. You basically gave it a bigger powersource (a 9V I think) and a whole fat array of IR LEDs. Increased the a whackload.

There are instructions for it on instructables.com. I wonder if it works much better than a regular one.

I received one today and tested one by going downtown. I went up to some design company's street-level display of televisions and turned them all off. It was pretty funny to see it happen and I wonder when I go by tomorrow if any of them will still be off.

I bought myself a small universal remote in the bargain bin in a hardware store. at first i thought id just switch of Tvs , but then , as I was eating lunch in Macdonald's and they had this huge plasma Tv , so I thought I'd piss off the "employees" a bit . So long story short the Tv happened to have a porn station not disabled , so I sat there for half an hour with the porn running cos the retards couldn't find their remote.

Can you give me instructions for that thing? I would love to be in a resturant while someone was on their cellphone and just kill their call.

i bought it from a website: http://www.globalgadgetuk.com/rx9000.htm
it was about five hundred bucks USD, and comes with a cool warning:

FCC wil fine you $11k if caught using it in the US.  My own mediocre attempt at humor has been highly amusing to myself..  It's cool in restaurants, malls, on the tram, whatever.
It's easy to conceal, but the three aerials are kinda fragile.  the light is blinking in the video meaning the battery is dying.
And that was a CDMA phone, which usually turns off calls, and reception completely instantly.  Nextels network usually takes a few seconds longer i have noticed.

Those things are lethal! Oh, think of the applications!   

but a $11,000 is not something to mess with either...

Yeah , and there kind of hard to rebuild though because the circuit boards aren't labeled at all.

This is the best instructions I've found yet to making one.
