Not directly, like in the movies, instead I sent him a TV-B-gone as a birthday present (it actually arrived in time for Christmas).

TV-B-gone is a small remote control to turn off any kind of TV. It's been available for a while, you can see it in action in this infamous video.

Now I'm slightly afraid that he might use it at the wrong moment, like during a decisive football game or the final episode of the world's longest-running telenovela. People get upset if you take away switch off their TV.

I, personally, would rather spend my time doing something useful than watch television. All hail the internet!
