GREAT FUN!!
By FOX
This item is GREAT! When you put it on your keyring, it looks like it is not one thing more than the remote for a car alarm.

A outstanding tool to be put in the hands of The People
By D. B. Rathbun
Contrary to other reviews, this device will turn off 90% of all US/Asian TVs within 17 seconds (and the other 10% by the time it finishes it is sequence). Some may not operate it properly.

While it’s of questionable courtesy to shut off TV’s indiscriminately–as the “extremist” anti-TV White Dot and other advocates of the TVBGone support–there are plentiful occasions of TV’s being left on and supplying little more than noise and electricity drain to it is environment. It is outstanding to have this tool to empower every one to be capable to do the right thing in regards to TVs that “should not” be on.

Worth each penny; outstanding for emergency rooms; new & improved!
By Tia
Well, you may now escape other people’s cigarette smoke, if you don’t care to breathe it — most of the time. But it seems there’s no escape from TV in public places.

There you are, keeping your gravely ill child on your lap in the emergency room at the hospital — and the TV is blaring on when it comes to beheadings and rape. Great. Just what a five-year-old needs. Once we were the ONLY persons in the emergency room, yet the nurse still refused to turn it off. I won’t tell you what the show was.

Now you don’t have to be helpless. Enter TV-B-GONE!

Just casually point the little black box at the tube and push the button. Within a minute or two (say 69 seconds), it will find the right code and stop the junk. If any person else has been watching, they will blink, look around and pick up a magazine. Never, never, have I heard any person complain when I’ve used my TV-B-Gone. And I’ve employed it in a great deal of doctor’s offices and arid cleaners.

Mind you, I would never turn off the game in a sports bar to ruin other people’s fun. For me, this fine little tool is when it comes to a bit peace and sanity.

OK — batteries. After using this thing for a year and a half, it in the end necessitated new batteries. That’s a finelooking darned good run. Radio Shack put crummy ones in, so they never worked. Off to the grocery store to undertake again. There’s a new battery recommendation on the tvbgone website: use just two CR2032 batteries rather of three of the basi 2016, they say.

Another reviewer complained that TV-B-Gone does just one thing, but . . . uh . . . check out the name. That’s what it’s for. Making TV be gone. Wanna watch TV? Then, dude, get a remote. (Or get up and walk to the tube, I guess.)

Another reviewer complained with regards to territorial TVs (NTSC versus PAL and so forth). There are TWO VERSIONS. Check out the tvgbone web site for details. And note their disclaimer: “Although we tried our best to make your TV-B-Gone remote control turn off any and all TV’s, there may be galore few that it won’t turn off.”

It would be better if the device cycled through codes faster, but that’s the only betterment I’d want. On the older models, you gotta wait those 69 seconds. Note that continuing to press the button is not necessary! The device is going to ignore you for next 69 seconds anyway, while it tries to do it is job. (NOTE: I’m going to get the new, bettered version. The “Instant Reactivation Feature” might make it work faster.)

I love the black plastic stealth design. Goes right on my key chain and keeps me anonymous as far as mean nurses are concerned.

And now, a word for another Amazon reviewer of this product, Aaron. I realize you are improbable to read this, but since I can’t get your mom on the phone just now, here it is. Aaron, your cruel treatment of young children (mentioned with glee in your review) reveals very immature and discourteous behaviour. Look, we’ve all played pranks. You in all likelihood meant to be funny. But please do pick on someone your own size. You could do not forget what it was like to be little yourself. What seems funny at your age may cause a terrifying nightmare for a child — which of course you would not be there to help with. At the very least, a ruined evening out is a finelooking rotten thing to do to a kid or adult. If you read your review again, you might ask yourself how you made the world a better place that evening. How in regards to you make up for it by turning off the TV next time you’re in an emergency room at the hospital, okay?
