Don't use this for evil or nerfarious purposes. :cool:

I think it is pretty cool. Although, I am sure my friends will not think so when I get one.

[palefrost]

HAHa i like it! Im sure you could loose a life using it though. :P

[karenlyn]

Don't use it for evil purposes? Oh, then I'm not going to get one. I try to use everything for evil purposes at least once... :p

[tater03]

Oh I would definetlly have fun with this little gadget. My husband would be ready to kill me. Ha Ha. Thanks for the link.

[FourBear]

I love gadgets like this, especially since most of my friends flip out when the tv starts doing strange things on its own!

And, what is your definition of "evil purposes"? ;)

[Kaiser]

This should be nice to have when I'm in public waiting rooms and lobbies with those TV's playing c-span all day long.

[triumph]

I did not even think of that Kaiser. Would work well on Bar tvs as well too.

I am definately getting one of these!

[Kaiser]

Ohhhh bar tvs...gotta be careful - especially at sports bars. Man, this thing can create lots of hate there! lol

[daveman]

Nah, bar tvs would be a great idea.

[Woglinde]

Just hide it under your arm in an inconspicous way ;) I just got one. It's awesome! I was just using it on my tv just now. Can't wait to cause mayhem at my school! *Evil grin*

[tater03]

I never thought of using it in a public place. That would bring a lot of laughs but also a lot of puzzled expressions. I will be ordering one of these. I see tons of possibilities to have a little fun.

I have one and i also have a TV B GONE the TV B Gone is much better for just causing havoc because the ninja remote requires programing...

See you have to hold down the mute button till it mutes or un mutes the TV when you let go at that moment it keeps that tv code loaded. yea its good but its not fast for your drive by TV harassment :)

so having both is sweet.

Plus you gotta get the angle juuuust right to work.

[Climburr]

wait....so it requires programming? how long does the programming take? and also, whats this about getting the angle right? is that hard?

"How to program:
Point at TV. Press and hold
MUTE button until TV mutes
Quickly release MUTE button.
Press VOL button to restore
volume."

I quoted the programming instructions on the back of the remote. As for the angle part, You know when you try to turn up the volume on your tv, but it doesn't respond? Then you hold it slightly higher and it works? Kinda like that.


Oh, And by the way, It DOESN'T work on all TVs. Everyone I have showed it to are always under the impression that it does. I'll post the brands it should work on later.;)

[Climburr]

Thanks. So the angle is much diff then a normal remote? I was worried for a sec... Thanks for posting the brands in advance!

[cooncheese70]

Does anyone know of any stores where I can literally walk in and buy the 'Ninja Remote' ??? (Honolulu region would be helpful)

[Mylkal]

Hey is this ninja remote thing any good? I recently got a LighTalk from www.thinkgeek.com, and was kinda disappointed. The ninja remote looks perfect for reeking havoc in public places, and i was wondering if it's worth it to buy?

[Case]

Ninja works but its quirky it pays to have TVBGONe and a Ninja remote... together you can cause hell.

[triple7allstar]

Haha - this is the best thread in the world. It would be really funny to go to a bar and flip it to like soap operas or the home shopping channel, or that one arts and crafts channel. Pretty much anything girly.

Hahahahaha

[TheDealer07]

Yeah that would be hilarious just make sure you hide the thing immediately. Nothing would get you killed faster than putting Oprah Late Night, or whatever an equivalent show is if that doesn't exist yet, on just as someones favorite team is about to kick a game winning field goal.

in the bar we go to they have live music but the tv is on bec the owner bets on games so we change it all the time or unmute it and turn the volume up

[Arsonistxx77]

I got it in the mail today, and out of the 7 TVs i own, it's only working on one. hmm. Idk whats up, but im gonna go to the galleria and try it there later. Some1 tell me if they have the same problem.

[stocky]

me too...how to fix it?

[ivanirons]

This would be a perfect Ninja Tool for a teenage at school. Think of switching up the AV equipment when the teacher isn't looking.
