  No suggestions - but if you can come up with such a device, you
  can probably make a lot of money with it.  (Assuming, of course,
  that the advertising agencies do not have you done away with :-) )
  Of course, you have to also have a mechanism for controlling
  the TV sound with it.

  I use the "mute" button on my remote, of course, as does everyone
  else probably.  But this has the disadvantage of you still have
  to look at the stupid picture, or else they'll switch back and
  you'll miss the touchdown (or whatever).
