I heard about TV-b-gone a while ago at it seems like an interesting idea. Personally I'm more likely to avoid places with annoying, blaring televisions all over the place but I would be more likely to use it if it were more inconspicuous.

Also in the spirit of censoring TV, the folks over at FOXblocker are trying to get you to block the FOX News channel from ever entering into your living room. Origionally the site founders sold the actual devices to do this but it seems that they've stopped. I don't know if this was due to a lack or excess of demand but in any case the site is now for sale. At first I thought they were marketing some ingenious device that detected right-wing rhetoric and screened it or some other similar sort of technological wizardry. It turns out that they were just marketing RF signal traps for specific channels. Unimpressive. However, using these simple, and cheap, devices you can make QVC or any other ridiculous channel from bothering you.

TV was never really my thing anyway. Too many commercials. Too little worthwhile content. I prefer to be doing something or, at the very least sitting at the computer where I can actually research some of the things I am interested in. For example, leargin how to build my own aluminum foundry. If fact, why am I not doing that right now?
