This is a neat tutorial on how to change your TV channels without a remote.
All you need is a mini flashlight, a floppy disk and a magnifying glass.
Of course, if you are reading my blog, you’re not watching TV anymore 
and you don’t need to watch the following clip:

It’s very clever idea. I think it’s not laziness but a good invention

I tried this and couldnt get it to work. my maglight was a bit bigger than yours as was the magnifying glass but they were both very similar diameters. no matter what i tried it wouldnt change the channel. Any advice?

Incandescent bulbs emit light at a set wavelength. You can’t change the wavelength by adding filters. If the flashlight emitted the right wavelength of IR, it would not require a filter.
Different functions of the TV are governed by varying the frequency of IR light pulses, not changing the “frequency of the light”. These pulses are milliseconds longs; it’s impossible to duplicate these precise combinations of pulses for different functions manually with a flashlight.
Moving the a lens wouldn’t affect the wavelength of light. When you look through a magnifying glass, do things change color??
You fail.
Protip: Learn about your hoaxes subject before you make an idiot of yourself.

[…] kan forresten ganske uenkelt skifte tv-kanal uten fjernkontroll, om det skulle være av interesse. Du kan jo gjøre det som Storrusten […]

Did anyone else try it and did it work? Let us know.
July 24th, 2007 at 11:17 am
this is clearly a hoax
as u can see there is another person in the reflection on the tv standing in the background..
now i would bet all my money on that he has a remote control changing the volume in the background!
see for urself

ZuZ I’m afraid to admit but you are right
It seems to be a hoax…
July 24th, 2007 at 8:15 pm
OK! so we all were fooled

I couldn’t understand some parts of this article , but I guess I just need to check some more resources regarding this, because it sounds interesting.
August 26th, 2007 at 5:08 am
Who the hell would believe that
September 17th, 2007 at 9:19 pm
Hmm… I believed it was true until I tried it
October 11th, 2007 at 8:19 pm
is it real or not?
February 22nd, 2008 at 8:18 pm
ZuZ is right, check out the video at 83 seconds, the screen goes dark and you see two people in the reflection, the guy at the back could easily have a remote
March 17th, 2008 at 9:28 pm
I wish it worked
March 19th, 2008 at 10:17 pm

“Of course, if you are reading my blog, you’re not watching TV anymore and you don’t need to watch the following clip…”
Actually, I have House on, on the big-screen here, while my laptop is on… my lap.
Thanks for the information you provide at this weblog (which I just found).
