IR bonus

Today, eating lunch with some co-workers at a mexican dive, the food was great but they had this TV blaring something annoying next to our table. We tried to get the waiter but he didn't notice us.

I noticed the TV was a samsung, same as I have at home. I pulled out my HTC one, fired up the tv remote, hit "mute" and viola, peace and quiet. Even if it weren't the same brand I could probably have added a remote on the fly for the sake of what was needed.

I remember those "tv-b-gone" devices they used to sell that could mute or turn off TVs. I was thinking you could probably create an app that did the same thing without too much trouble...

You don't have to create one.

I usually go to an appliance center and enable screen mirroring on a sony TV using HTC remote, then connect my HTC one and play wirelessly. lol

What do you mean "play wirelessly"?

I was in **** Smith's the other day with some friends and decided that it'd be a good opportunity to test the IR in public. I got it connected to some smaller TV's on the wall and had the On/Off working. It was all going well until I decided to change the channels. It changed straight to static.. At a very high volume! After I'd attracted the attention of everyone in the shop, a guy came over to me and gave me a deathstare. He saw my phone in my hand, and thinking that it was a remote, asked my what I was holding. I innocently showed him my phone, claiming that I was un-sure of what had happened. When he saw that I had no "remote" he put his attention on turning off the TV. That's when I left :-D

I regularly use my IR to change the channel at Hooters, tv's are close to the table and all have separate receivers, lol.
