Similar topic, different application, so much fun - have you tried TV-B-Gone for the N900? It's a one button application. You press it while facing the TV and in less than a minute the TV in front of you switches off. It works on all TV's in Europe and the US, depending on the setup you have chosen.
How does it work you may ask? It sends +- 200 remote control signals to a TV in the hope that one of them belongs to that TV. It's worked on every TV I have tried.
Places you can have fun with this application, with little detection.
Obviously be careful, some people might not see your practical joke as being funny.

- Television Stores
- Pubs showing boring sports (e.g. Snooker, Football, Rugby, Cricket).
- Cafes
- Restaurants (because you are there to eat not watch TV).
- Trade floors in busy investment banks
- Waiting rooms (Dentist, Doctor, etc).
- Airports
- Modern Stations
Obviously be careful, some people might not see your practical joke as being funny.

Amazing!
Going to wind up my brother-in-law and get some mileage out of this baby!
I wonder if it'll work to zap I/R r/c helicopters - the boys at work buzz my office when they know I'm on an important call...

Lol, I like your style.
I originally downloaded this app so I didn't have to buy a remote for my canon DSLR... I always have my phone, so why buy hardware I don't need?
The other day I was at a popular takeaway restaurant before heading to the airport, as I had a few hours to kill I decided to hang around up stairs and enjoy the air conditioning.
The Circle was on TV (for those unfamiliar, it's an Australian morning discussion show). I couldn't have this on the last day of my vacation, so I pulled out my phone and downloaded what appeared to be a generic remote for an LG TV... Previously impossible to change channels as the TV is behind glass.
After adding some buttons I was able to do some channel surfing, I came across Gilligan's island and settled. Finding it hard to hear I went ahead and turned up the volume.
A puzzled staff member walked past and noticed the channel had been changed, shortly returning with a remote to change it back.
Moments after she flicked through the channels to find the god awful Circle, I flicked it back. Becoming frustrated and confused she went too close to the TV for my remote to hit the sensor.
She had won the battle...
I added some more buttons to my remote. Before you know it the only channel remaining on the TV was the 24hr foreign news station.
Before leaving I changed the menu language to Korean and turned the volume to 100%.
Oops.
