    There’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.

      Is there a specific sound to those? It actually could be possible with an ESP chip, IR transmitter, and a decent pickup mic

        I’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

          If only South Park’s “brown noise” actually existed…
