Post subject: | my sports ticker blocker prototype |
One of these days, I hope that someone invents a feature where you can disable the sports ticker from the bottom of the tv screen. The sports ticker is an outdated and unneeded feature in today's connected 2 screen world. If someone really wants to know the score of another game they can simply look at the phone or tablet that is probably already in their hand. ON the flipside, those of us that have this crazy notion about wanting to watch more than one sporting even that starts at the same time without knowing the results beforehand are completely screwed by the stupid sports ticker. Until now! Last night I took a long slab of Styrofoam and some hockey tape and covered up the bottom 3 inches of my 70" TV screen and settled in to watch 3 amazing college basketball games that all started at 8 back to back to back without being spoiled of the results. I plan to go on next week's episode of Sharktank with this amazing invention. I'm hoping that after I send production to China the finished product will be a black piece of cloth with Velcro on it that attaches to the sides of the TV. I'm currently taking pre-orders as well as $$ for my gofundme page. Also looking for a round of angel investors. |

Could also be useful for CNN and their "Breaking News" of stuff that happened 16 hours ago. |

Same with sports updates on radio stations. Really not needed. At least in the day. I guess at night you might want scores of games. |

Mr. Wonderful will want to do a royalty deal on it...Daymond will make you an offer contingent on being able to secure licensing deals...Mark and/or Robert are going to say the size of the stake in the company you are offering is too small to keep them interested...and Laurie will demand twice as much equity as the other Sharks because she is on QVC. |
