realistically, what a ninja remote does is send the "Off" signal frequency of all manufacturers out there. A ninja remote doesn't spam every IR frequency, or else it would, in theory, do more than just power down the tv, but change the volume and the channel and the video mode, and whatever other thing it could do. It would also turn on and off your VCR, etc. That's clearly not what it does, however.

So teams, whatever you do, do not use the "OFF" button on a remote control as one of your 4 inputs, because then a ninja remote might actually do something.
