Too much TV? Tiny remote silences them all

This is TV Turnoff Week, and couch potatoes are being urged to stash the remote and find something better to do.

But what about the TVs you can’t controlNULL ones in the airport lounge, waiting room, restaurant or local bar?

A clever little device called TV-B-GONE may do the trick.

Launched in 2004, this keychain remote-control gizmo is designed to fit in a palm and shoot a beam containing more than 200 codes to switch off almost any blaring monitor within 15 metres.

It can be ordered from www.tvbgone.com or www.adbusters.org for about $15.
