TV-B-Gone Universal TV Power Remote Control Keychain

Product Information

It's always like that," Altman said. "It's so much part of the environment in the U.S. that people don't even notice when it disappears." Includes the latest TV-B-Gone POWER codes for North America and Europe, covering well over 90% of all TVs in the world! Another reason is that the TV will only listen to certain frequencies of PWM. So a Sony remote at 37KHz won't be able to work with a JVC DVD player that only wants say 50KHz. http://www.mouser.com/search/ProductDetail.aspx?R=30310-6002HBvirtualkey51750000virtualkey517-30310-6002 Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood: This organization is a thoughtful, practical resource for parents wanting to raise their kids to become wonderful people.

TV-B-Gone was invented by Mitch Altman and is sold by his company Cornfield Electronics. The standard model TV-B-Gone consists of an infra-red LED, two CR2032 cells and an integrated circuit containing the television power code database, all in a plastic case. The original case aesthetics and design were created by Robert Ellis. Third, try to aim as best as you can at the IR receiver, usually a small dark plastic plate on the front of the TV During the 2008 Consumer Electronics Show, an individual associated with Gizmodo brought a TV-B-Gone remote control and shut off many display monitors at booths and during demos affecting several companies.

The kit’s powered by 2x AA batteries - that aren’t included - and the output comes from 2x narrow beam IR LEDs and 2x wide-beam IR LEDs.

We’ve even seen one creeping behind semi-transparent mirror film in the ladies’ room of a sports bar, though that one didn’t last long. Up until that moment, we had never wished so hard for a TV-B-Gone, especially one as small and powerful as this DIY version by [Shane]. Repeat for all four legs. The solder points should be clean and shiny. See the tutorials for soldering help if you can't get it right. Sure, there are programs on TV that are entertaining or informative. Go ahead and watch. But when that good show is over, you may want to turn off the TV. Turning off a TV is a choice! There is actually no direct connection between NTSC, PAL, or SECAM, and the methods TV manufacturers use for encoding the remote control POWER signal. In general, our North American/Asian model will work for countries that use NTSC, and our European model will work for TVs in countries that use PAL or SECAM. But there are exceptions. For instance, our North American/Asian model works in countries in Asia that use PAL, such as Thailand and India.
