There is this place I unfortunately have to go to a lot that always has Fox News on really loud and a bunch of white dude boomers watching it. April was glorious. They had the weather channel on lmao but it’s back now
That's really annoying. Do you think they'd notice you using your phone to change the station and possible remove Fox from the channel list? Is there windows in the building with the TVs? There are some high power IR blasters that might let you change it from outside.
It would be funny to block the channel ngl but I don't know what they're using to get fox specifically. A lot of cable news is now part of a digital tv package, so TV access isn't enough. I'd need to get to their verizon/AT&T/etc. box which usually operates independently through the HDMI.
That's right but it doesn't necessarily mean that access is impossible, just need the codes for the box instead of the TV assuming it has an infrared sensor on the box.
