That was a great chat! We had a special guest Mitch Altman (inventor of TV-B-Gone, amongst other things). We answered your engineering questions and we gave away a TV-B-Gone pro SHP generation 4! The Ustream stats are down so we can’t post the viewer report yet – but we think it was a record night with over 500 viewers!

For those wondering about the TV-B-Gone pro SHP generation 4, here’s it’s “debut” of sorts! (You can order one from Mitch’s site)…

TV-B-Gone Pro SHP is a tool for the true TV-B-Gone professional, a model citizen that ensures the safety of themselves and the people all around them, everywhere they go in the world. The TV-B-Gone professional makes the world a better place for everyone!

Here are just some of the features of the TV-B-Gone Pro SHP:

• Super High Power—turn off TVs up to 110 meters away!
• Includes all Gen3 TV-B-Gone POWER codes for North America and Europe, covering well over 90% of all TVs in the world!
• As easy to use as the TV-B-Gone keychain!
• Touch activated switch!
• Both models are easily switched between North
  American and European databases!
• Small, light-weight, looks like a small MP3
  player!
• 8 Infra-Red emitters!
• With small powerful rechargable battery (comes
  with recharger)
• Great gift!!

TV-B-Gone Pro SHP works the same way the TV-B-Gone keychain works, but it is way more powerful because it has more emitters and uses a bigger battery. Instead of the batman-like keychain, it comes in a lightweight case that looks like a small MP3 player. It is easy to trigger whenever you desire with the switch on its front. A dim visible light lets you know when the TV-B-Gone Pro SHP is transmitting (Stealth-Mode is available with double-click activation). Like the TV-B-Gone keychain, TV-B-Gone Pro SHP has Instant Reactivation Feature so that you can turn off many TVs in quick succession.

We have two models for the TV-B-Gone Pro SHP:

• NA model—includes battery charger with US style AC power plug
• EU model—includes battery charger with European style AC power plug

The only difference between the two models is the style of the AC power plug on the included battery charger.
