A certain Mr. Altman, aged 47, came up with the TV-B-Gone keychain.

By pressing one button, a program is launched to enumerate 200 infrared codes, which are used to turn on or off about 1000 of the existing TV models. Most TVs respond in 17 seconds, and it takes about a minute to go through the entire range of codes.

The $15 TV-B-Gone keychain has already received hundreds of orders, according to the seller.
