Allegedly, this little device can turn off almost any TV anywhere. This is handy dandy when you are dealing with children who are glued to the television screens and refuse to do any homework, or “the select few” who must watch every game on TV and refuse to mow the lawn or take out the garbage.
However, the TV-B-Gone people suggest that we try to use this device in the public settings such as turning off the TVs in a sports bar or at the airport. OY! OY! OY! What is the point of going to a sports bar with no TVs? Don’t even mention the airports. Nowadays, people are freaky about anything that happens at the airports. If I use the device to turn off a TV there, people probably think I am a terrorist and 20 guys who weigh more than 225 pounds will jump on me and beat the crap out of me. TV-B-Gone? I-Will-Be-Gone is more like it.

i wouldn’t try that, esp at the airport as you said…
even at home, um, my remote shuts the tv off just fine…hmmm
Indeed,Staciesmadness. How many more remotes do we need? Like we don’t have enough of them already.
I definitely think that this device would be more troublesome and annoying than useful

I must say, that I have one, and before I wore out the batteries, I loved it. I’ve often found myself in empty waiting rooms with a TV blaring. I pull out my key ring, hit the button, and the TV goes off.
Since I’ve used it primarily in empty waiting rooms, no one is around to notice or complain. Others have used it in crowded rooms, and found that people start interacting with one another in friendly conversation.
