How to Change TV Channels Without a Remote

or you could just walk your lazy ass to the tv and change it by hand...

to the tim guy....you sir are an idiot you didn't even watch the video to see what it was about. reatard. Anyway I just stumbled upon this and it's great nice work and thanks I'll be having some fun with this soon.

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

Brilliant. You also have to have steady hands.

LOL thats real g33k shite

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?

fake...has remote in the background

did you know that if your hand is bigger than your face that you have cancer.....and if you tried this, Richard Dean Anderson is laughing at you

Awesome stuff ... I must try this ...

awesome.. very interesting and informative!

you having no life for doing shit like this lol

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.

Did anyone else try it and did it work? Let us know.

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...

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.

Who the hell would believe that

Hmm... I believed it was true until I tried it :(

is it real or not?

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

I wish it worked :)

intresting,,,,,,,,,,but is any one try this or other might b right,,,,,,,

"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).

man it this thing out :(

I also recently just got cable & satellite tv on my pc and set it up with RT cable from Radio Shack for $20. Pretty amazing and now I dont need Comcast anymore. Just thought it would also be a good share.
