This app enables you to turn off any TV with your device's built-in infrared blaster.

Have you ever imagined what it would be like if you could turn off any TV?
With TV KILL, you can!

TV KILL gives you the ability to shut down any TV, no matter where you are.
Simply aim your phone at a TV and press the off-button.
Your phone will then start transmitting a variety of off-signals for different TVs and one of them will turn off the TV in front of you, just like the famous TV-B-Gone remote.

If you activate the repetitive-mode, your phone will transmit the off signals over and over again, even when you close the Application or lock your screen.
This way, you can simply deploy your phone in front of a TV and the TV will turn itself off again whenever somebody tries to switch it on.
(Great for private screening events)

You can also select an off-pattern that only affects devices from a single manufacturer, in case you want to turn-off a TV from a specific brand,

TV KILL also includes a widget for your home screen, so you don't even have to open the app to turn a TV off.


If you should find a TV which the app can't turn off or if you can't turn off ANY TV at all although your device has got a working IR blaster, please contact us and we will see to it that the TV/device is supported in the next TVKILL version.
