Extend The Range Of Your Tin Top Remote

[Andi]

Dont know if this has been on here before,

but i have read on tinternet that if you hold your remote against the side of your forehead or your chin

and open your mouth, you can extend the range of your signal by up to a third.

I thought this is obvious non sense, but...... It really does work. I must of tried it 20 times or more and it

worked everytime. Did get some weird looks in Morrisons car park though.

I think it uses your body as an antenna, i've tried it myself it does work

It works in reverse on your radio -- station wanders off a little -- you retune -- it's fine -- until you take your hand away.

It would also be a good get out of jail if your battery is dying in the remote (reduced signal strength).

 

As long as it doesn't have the same effect as one of Del Boy's mobile phones and change all the telly channels nearby

I just sat reading your message and burst out laughing thinking about you in the car park, all those shoppers , cheered me up !! Thanks for that and yes I have done that before but not where I can be seen though..

try using a pringles tube from twice the distance !

[fry61]

Is it necessary to remove the metal base from the tube or will a small hole be better?

[Dave Ed]

small hole in the bottom should work ok

Strangely enough it doesnt work at all for the wife.. Told her it must be too dense

She thinks my head has the contents of an empty pringles tube.

 

BTW, tried another myth... Supposedly if you lock your keys in the car and you ring home to where your partner

has a spare set they activate the spare fob near their phone while you place your phone near the car.. Absolute rubbish..
