ABSTRACT:
A universal remote control unit for changing television channels is shaped like a gun to allow a viewer to point the gun at a television set, and shoot the channel to change the program. The unit is gun shaped having a barrel with a muzzle end containing an infrared beam emitter to produce a signal beam to engage an infrared beam receiver of a television set and provide channel selection. A hand grip portion has a trigger which operates a channel selection switch to produce a signal beam from the infrared emitter to change the channel. A channel direction switch selects whether the channel change should be up or down, and a power source is provided for powering the controls and the light beam emitter. In another embodiment a light beam emitter and a sound effect emitter are included in the gun.
