This is an interesting concept, but after reading one
of the reviews on Amazon.com for this product, I
remain quite skeptical:
"Great Idea, But a Piece of Crap, January 26, 2006
Reviewer: Shambalagala - See all my reviews
What a great idea. I've been annoyed by TVs in public
places for a long time. Too bad it's a worthless piece
of crap.
In testing it on my own TV at home, it was unable to
affect the TV when anything was in the way- so I
couldnt turn it off with it in the pocket of my pants
or jacket. Second, it wont turn off the TV unless it's
directly facing the TV, and finally, you have to be
directly in front of the TV. That's right - there's no
way to be surreptitious about it - you need to stand
directly in front of the TV, extend your arm with the
TV-B-Gone in it towards the TV, and hold down the
button for 60 seconds. Then you get to answer
questions about why you turned off a TV in a public
place. Nice.
And that's IF it works. I went to the doctor's office
yesterday and was 5 feet from a TV showing some awful
show, and no matter what I tried, the TV would not
turn off.
It's a great idea, but a piece of crap. Dont buy it."
