minus-squareDontRedditMyLemmy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up14·15 days agoI don’t have cable. Is this an accurate procedure?
minus-squarechicken@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·15 days agoI’ll be honest I don’t own a television, though maybe someone else knows
minus-squareleftthegroup@lemmings.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·edit-214 days agoMaybe for one specific cable company’s box. No idea which it is, but they’re all different with different menus. No idea why anyone would exist labeled as “vertical controls”. Wtf
minus-squareObjectivityIncarnate@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·14 days agoYeah, that just made me think of “vertical hold”, which is a REALLY old thing you’d have to deal with on TVs, lol.
minus-squareRampantParanoia2365@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·13 days agoI’ll be honest, I had no idea you could delete channels from a cable box.
minus-squareGlitterbomb@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·13 days agoThere’s already little devices you can buy that just cycle through every IR code to turn off every TV in range. This should get coupled with a mic listening for Fox News commercial bumps before activating.
minus-squarephx@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·13 days agoIs there a specific sound to those? It actually could be possible with an ESP chip, IR transmitter, and a decent pickup mic
minus-squareGlitterbomb@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·13 days agoI’d be shocked if fox doesn’t use some sound effects at the start of shows as a pavlovian response to get their viewers salivating
minus-squarephx@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·13 days agoIf only South Park’s “brown noise” actually existed…
minus-squareRampantParanoia2365@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·13 days agoDo you mean for public TVs like at the gym, and waiting rooms?
