I saw this advert in a window that said: “Television for sale, £1, volume stuck on full.” I thought, “I can’t turn that down.”

Are you American by any chance?
Technical escapades like removing a light bulb always scare the bejesus out of Americans.

Actually, I have just walked past a house with a tv ish blue light on in the front room.
It was obviously one of these,it wouldnt fool a burglar.
As to the comments about electricity being too dear to leave a real tv on, well,
100 watts U.K. price is 1 pence per hour, or £1.68 / week.
If you can set it up with a timer dusk till midnight this is not going to be noticeable.
A pc and monitor running a dvd on loop would be similar total.
Or you could save up for an ED 209 and WASTE any intruders. ;#}

A 'television' is a device for the masses who can neither afford or use a P.C. actually.
Tho I do agree, this device is better than east enders, aaand, the BBC can kiss my pale hairy one.

Please do not use these, my neighbour has one, along with a nightlight. They are totally unrealistic, (no one watches shows that light the room up purple, then green, then darkness) we just laugh because we use it as an indicator as when she has gone to sleep.
They look especially bad when another neighbour is actually watching real TV and you can see the comparison.

Ideal for when the licence man comes knocking and when he tells you he could see the flickering of the (non-licenced) TV thru the curtains and you just bring this out.

I wouldn't call 100 watts+ super low!
No, they still use a tonne of power, sure it's less than it used to be, but an LED bulb is like 5W.

6 Apr 171#96
Thieves pay little attention to ordinary folk actually; its darkness for long periods they notice.
tho if these things do look a bit obvious maybe point it at the floor and have a dimmed light on a timer.
Actually joking aside this is a scorching hot deal, this is a superb bargain for £1, a paid a lot more than that from Maplins for mine.

That's just a waste of electricity and not really practical if you are going away for say a week or two. With these tv simulators you can put them on a timer plug so that they come on a certain times of the day or night, and of course they only use a small amount of electricity so are much 'greener' than leaving a tv on all day if you are out.

And what I do when I go on my hols is employ a family to sit in and watch the tv. It gives the perfect illusion of someone sitting in and watching the tv.
If I go away for too long though I have to give them annual holiday entitlement which causes all manner of issues.

Even if the remote doesn't allow you to adjust the remote most TVs will still have manual controls which are often hidden from view on the back of the set.

My neighbour told me their cctv showed their burglar discreetly threw stones at their window from outside their boundary, ascertaining they weren't home, so one of these wouldn't have helped. Good price but I'm putting the quid towards an alarm.
