TV-B-Gone - New European Model II

TV-B-Gone - New European Model II

Top Rated Top rated by our customers!


Sorry, this item has now been discontinued and is no longer available

TV-B-Gone™ is an amazing new gadget that has the power to turn off virtually any television set! Model II now available, see below for improvements!

As it only has one button, it's incredibly easy to use:

  • Point the keyfob-sized unit towards a TV set
  • Press the button once (no need to hold it down)
    - the remote will then send out a sequence of "off" codes for virtually every television
  • Keep pointing it at the TV until it turns off
    - 90 percent of televisions should turn off within the first 17 seconds, although it cycles through every code in it's database within 69 seconds


After it emits all of the "off" codes, your TV-B-Gone even turns itself off!

TV-B-Gone works best when used under 7 metres from the television set, although in optimum circumstances can work over twice that distance!

TV-B-Gone works on the same principle as your TV's normal remote control. It cannot hurt your TV or anyone else's TV.


TV-B-Gone Model II is the latest version, available now! Although it looks identical, the new model features a number of improvements:

  • Instant Restart - the sequence of OFF signals can now be restarted mid-cycle, so no more waiting over a minute for the full cycle of codes to be completed before having another go
  • Discrete LED indicator - to show you when its transmitting the magical "off" sequence
  • Improved battery life

TV fans may spot an alternative use for TV-B-Gone - the "off" signal is actually a "power on/off" signal that can also be used to turn on TVs that are switched off!.

"Like x-ray specs, the invisibility suit or the ever-lasting doughnut, it sounds too good to be true.. The device runs through some 209 infrared codes which control more than 1,000 models of TV, and ought to disable most sets within 17 seconds."
"A new keychain gadget that lets people turn off most TVs - anywhere from airports to restaurants - is selling in the US faster than it would take most people to surf channels."
"If you regularly call on friends or family only to find them slumped semi-comatose in front of Trisha, or have ever found yourself viewing anything involving Vernon Kay, then you may well be in need of a TV-B-Gone."

Great fun to turn off tellies in cafes when you are trying to grab a few minutes peace and quiet. AND in Homebase where a set is trying to sell me some rubbish...and Tesco, and in the pub. And they dont know why. Can be fun to turn them on again!

As someone who's fed up with TVs everywhere distracting me when I'd rather be doing something, anything other than watching trash TV this is perfect. TVs in pubs? Off. TVs in airports? Off. Rail stations, restaurants, anywhere and any TV. This is a must have gadget.

Review by Conor from Somerset on 08/11/2008
WOW, this is excellent! I had great fun in school, as well as at the airport, especially the departure screens ;). It is really fun at Argos also, when everyone is staring at the TV and it goes off! Everyone gets really confused - like in Currys and Comet. I would reccommend this product to anyone - a sure guarantee of fun!
