Matt LeBoff Flash Storage & Memory, Tutorials & How-To Guides, USB Hardware & Gadgets

So lets clarify exactly what I’m talking about here…a TV spy remote is a device that allows you to control someone else’s TV without being around, thus wreak havoc in their life.  After all, what could be more upsetting then turning off the TV at your neighbors house during American Idol or watching Jack Bower kick a$$ in 24?  I don’t think there is a greater pleasure. Since you can’t buy a TV spy remote at buy.com or Amazon, or anywhere else, check out this TV Spy Remote tutorial I found at Instructables.

The tools and materials you need could be found anywhere, as this hack was done at a college dorm room and you know those kids have not $$ or resources. Required materials include: Thinkgeek Micro Spy Remote Conductive glue Superglue Various resistors Capacitor 555 timer chip 9-volt battery 9-volt battery connector Relay High Gauge wire Solder Aluminium can (optional) Cardboard Circuit board Tape (electrical tape works well) Tools include: Soldering iron screwdriver needle nose pliers wire cutters and strippers possibly other common household tools.
