Here we show you how to hack a TV-B-Gone into the case of a vintage television remote control, such that the original on/off button instead activates the TV-B-Gone. We also modify the power supply so that it runs off of a regular 9 V battery, instead of a set of lithium coin cells." - Link & photos.
We sell the TV-B-Gone in the MAKE store and this isn't the only project you can do with it, auto-repeat in a hat and increasing the range are just a few...

Does anyone have the schematics to make a TV-B-Gone?

Leno,
The schematics are trivial, basically a microcontroller connected to a battery, IR LED, and button. The magic here is all in software.

Cheers Oracle. That's a shame. I'll just have to find a UK supplier instead.
