Wow. I'm impressed.
I just learned that you can check your remote controls IR output
using a digital camera.

You just point your remote control at the digital camera such as a
standard webcam or a standard cell phone camera and push the button.
It shows up on mine as a white light like an led light when looking
at the image on my viewer screen, yet when I point the remote at my
eyeball, I see nothing.

And I would want to this...why?

when swmbo throws the remote at you and bounces it off the wall, you can
check that it's still working.

Wouldn't it be simpler to point it at the TV?


And what if the TV is the problem, and not the remote?
