So, I was reading LadyAda's thesis paper the other day. As I was reading
about the Media-Sensitive Sun Glasses, I started thinking about the TV-B-Gone,
and pondering possibilities of a fusion of the two.
Glasses that, instead of blacking out, simply turn off the TV you're looking at.
Or, instead of glasses, build it into a hat, or a lapel pin, or whatnot.
A TV-B-Gone that can tell when its job is done. Have it remember the last
OFF code it sent for quick recall if the TV gets turned back on.
Other ideas, anyone?

That explains them pretty well

The TV-B-Gone patent application mentions media sensitive operation (section [0035]). Too bad TVs don't buzz at 15 kHz anymore.
The actual TV-B-Gone is a bit different than the patent app...
