In fact you can use your smartphone to change the channel on nearly any TV. In the comments on that post some people talk about how to do it. Basically you need a smartphone with either builtin IR or use a USB-C IR blaster or if your phone has a 3.5mm headphone jack you can also try one of those but I’m not sure if the 3.5mm ones are as commonly supported.
Just a small Canadian town with very little else to do…
This school used to put students on detention in the office where the secretary + principal could keep an eye on them (so the teachers actually got a break instead of classes then detention supervision). For some reason the room they’d put you in also had a display for all the cameras in the school, just slowly flipping between each one.
Just meant all the school bullies, pranksters, and general troublemakers knew exactly where to stand so they weren’t caught on camera XD
