TV Be Gone (TV off - clicker!)

[CarolAnn]

I WANT one of these! It's a tiny TV remote that turns off almost all TV's!

When the neighbor kids are watching TV at 3:00a.m., while their mom works the night shift, this thing would be very nice! ;)

Now if there was just one that worked on sterios, boom boxes . . .

Buy an FM broadcast transmitter from Ramsey. Build it, make an antenna, and you can broadcast your own choices over their box/stereo. Or simply blanket them with white noise, static.
I did this to a cretin once myself.

Lex, you got an ornory streak dont ya? Where can I find ramsey? are they on the web?

[wy0mn]

Yup, they are on the web. They also have cell phone scramblers, great fun at walmart, all the sheeple heading for the door saying "Can you hear me now?"
I've thought of secreting a solar powered one in Laramie at one intersection... what kinda FOOL drives a phonebooth down the road?

[logansackett]

too danged many of them down here in colo. I got to have one of those, too much fun to be had there.

Lex. I found the site. What the heck am I looking for? "Cell Phone Scrambler", "TV off-clicker" and "Garage Door Opener" don't bring up any results from a Search.

OK, heres the FM broadcast transmitter. They sell a amp kit thats compatible too. A directional antenna aimed at the source of the 'stereo' noise will over-ride local FM receivers if adjusted to the frequency they are on. I even heard a 'ghost' of my own broadcast over a radio that was turned off.

Going fishing for the cell phone blocker, as I can only copy/paste one addie @a thyme :) .
OK#2; Your right, Ramsey doesn't list cellular blockers anymore. So www.ladyada.net/make/wavebubble/ and finally, the TV-BeGone http://www.ladyada.net/make/tvbgone/

All three of these devices are pretty much illegal, if used the way I'd use them. Make & play @ur own risque.

Just got home from work. Gonna load some building materials in El DracOILa and try to get the cabin started tomorrow.

[OzarkMtnDaredevil]

Thx buddy. Of course, you know I'd never use electronics in an unlawful manner. Don't ya? ;)
I got the header boards for the lean-to up on my shop today. I had the day off. :P

Way to go Rob! Making room for the MIL? lol

Karen picked up her Mom in Denver yesterday, they are driving out to Astoria WA for a graduation ceremony. So my list of honey-do's will be mighty thin for awhile.

I hauled the floor framing materials out to the Ranch this morning, after oversleeping, and got that part out of the way. (Pic is in my myspace Ranch folder) I was concerned about hauling 20' 2"x6"s on El DracOILa, but they fit into the passenger side mirror frame and cargo strapped to the side of the bed just fine. He only has to survive about four more deliveries before I consider retiring/replacing him.

Gotta go load him up for an after work delivery tomorrow.
