Tame that Beast of a giant HDTV with this magic wand!

Thursday March 25th, 2010, Netcast 1054 

Don’t worry; The Wand tames Low Def TV’s too! Didn’t you wish you were a wizard when you were a kid? Or even right now as an adult? Well, guess what? You can be a wizard in a very short time! Imagine the surprise (and yes, the envy) on your friend’s faces when you say: “Let’s watch TV”. Then you pick your magic wand wave it at the flat screen and the picture springs to life! Another wave and you change channels, adjust the volume, do whatever you want. The Wand is the ultimate device when you want to be in control. But is it truly magic? (Yeah, right!) Of course now, but it’s wildly clever! The Wand can learn up to 13 commands from your existing remote controls and key them to particular magical motions. Flick the wand from side to side to flip the channels, twist the wand to turn up the volume, etc. Yes, there is a learning curve, but once you master the movements, you will be a real wizard to all those around you! The Wand helps you learn by vibrating in your hand. As you learn each movement properly, the wand will vibrate the number of times indicated on the included instruction sheet. Then the Wand vibrates to tell you each time it has learned a function from your remote control correctly. It can learn from pretty much any IR remote in your house and once you master its 13 movements, you can mastermind a symphony of electronic enjoyment from the comfort of your couch. It’s compatible with almost all makes of TV, DVR, or really anything with an IR remote! Buttons are sooooooooooooooo out. Wands are in! $89.99
