If you had a TV remote control that took 18650s, you could probably use it in that, but we don’t have those.

Yet…

I await the BLF TV ROP (“remote of power”) project with bated breath.

Don’t like the TV noise coming through the wall from your next door neighbour? Fire the beam out your window, bounce it off the house across the street and back through the neighbour’s window. Zap, volume down and problem solved. Optional constant-mute mode also available, just leave it lying on the windowsill

Don’t laff. I was thinking exactly something along those lines, or at least an IR repeater that you’d beam into the repeater from the remote, and it’d “broadcast” 20W of IR goodness into the general area where the offending teevee happens to be.

’Though mute usually toggles off/on, so while you can drive ’em crazy by having the sound flick on’n’off every second or so, it won’t keep it constantly muted.

Just an occasional burst of volume-down every few seconds might suffice, though.

I got a few of those luggage-tag-sized universal remotes that I could use as the signal source. :smiling_imp:

Wait, you guys don’t know we’ve already done that here? :smiling_imp:
