Remote control troubles?
Having trouble with a remote control? Can't tell if it's the batteries, the remote or the telly that's being a twat? Get the camera on your mobile, point the remote at the lens and press one of the buttons. If the remote's working OK, you'll be able to see the bulb on the front flashing on the screen (the phone can pick up the infra-red light that our puny human eyes can't, y'see).

Of course, the bad news is that this means the remote and batteries are fine, and it's the telly that's fucked.

I actually have an idea for an invention,
Using higher powered IR remote control bulbs to make an external night vision light for phone cameras...

My camcorder has such an IR light
for night vision mode.
