    We had one of those TVs when I was a kid… and our dog had one of those metal link collars, and when she would shake her head the TV would change channels, and the volume would change. :). I had forgotten all about that.

      Yep, my neighborhood friend had one. I discovered that my keys, when shook, would hit the frequencies to do stuff too. His dad was annoyed by it and I don’t know if he figured out how his TV would spontaneously change to channels

        Reminds me of getting trolled by my friend with an IR blaster on his phone. Took me way too long to catch on. Simpler times…
