 It really works! September 3, 2005
17 out of 19 found this review helpful
I was hesitant to purchase this, thinking it really wouldn't do what it claims but oh my- it really does! I hate the sound of TVs left on in my house, or in restaurants, so I thought I'd give this product a try. In most cases, it turned off the offending blabber box within seconds.
You won't be disappointed- buy this product!

 Works, but seriously flawed January 26, 2007
17 out of 25 found this review helpful
While the device works, it is seriously flawed in its design and functionality.
Flaw #5: The device should've looked more like a pen rather than a remote. This would've made it even less suspicious.
Flaw #4: It should've had a mini-USB port or Bluetooth to update its firmware or configuration file with codes for new TVs.
Flaw #3: It shouldn't have had a light on it at all, as it can be a give away. While it's true that the light can be largely prevented from blinking continuously by pressing the button twice, it really didn't need to exist at all. A better indicator would've been a vibrator like one in most cell phones.
Flaw #2: The button keeps getting pressed all the time with this device in my pocket. Due to this, my device needs a new battery after less than two months of rare usage. The button should've been designed a little more carefully.
Flaw #1: The signal emitted from the device lacks power. The device therefore does not work from a distance, such from across a hospital's large waiting room. It probably should've been five times as powerful.
It would also be nice if it had a second button which would simply mute the TV.
 Doesn't work on my tv January 15, 2005

I got this for Christmas and it wouldn't even turn off my own tv. I went to the web site (tvbegone.com) and they do not offer refunds. I think tvbegone uses a lot of hype and poor business practices.
It works August 19, 2005

It works... quickly on all of my TVs.
But, it is a lot bigger than I anticipated it being. Made of a cheap plastic. Other than that it does what is advertised.
This thing is great May 9, 2006

I bought this thing for the purpose of turning the TV off and messing with people. That's what I do with it. I was at a locat supermarket a few weeks ago, and every TV was off because of remodeling. Not so much after I left. It is also fun turning it off when people watch it. People look around helplessly as they are trying to find where there show went. I haven't found a TV that it will not turn off yet. I have had one TV that took about 30 seconds to turn off.
One more thing. If you want to get one of these, do not get one of the colored transparent ones. They have a bright blue light that flashes when it is working. I do not believe that the black ones have this.
