How to Change TV Channels Without a Remote

June 30th, 2007

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 :D 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

    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.

    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 :)

    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

    “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).

    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.
