MuteDaddy - Silence Annoyingly Loud TV Commercials - Scroll Down and View Our Video! Review

Connected to Sony TV but large button does not mute. The sound for the TV is provided by the Sony HT-S350 Soundbar with wireless subwoofer, but I couldn't find the code in the manual, on the website, or online. I called them, the number is listed on the phone line, not on the support service. The agent suggested trying each code individually. So I tried all 425 codes (it took several hours) but NONE worked. I'm done. Return.

This can make watching the news channel bearable. He does exactly what he says and does it well. I put 2 pieces of closed cell foam on the back to make it less slippery - see photo. I would less on the left and raise on the right, but that's just me. I would also allow doing 1 minute intervals instead of 30 seconds - no big deal. They can last anywhere from 30 seconds to 4 minutes depending on how many clicks you give. Get one of these for every TV.

Returned. The product description made it seem a lot more advanced than it really is. It's basically just a giant mute button with a timer option attached. I don't need a separate remote just to mute the TV. I figured it had some kind of sensor or something that would automatically mute the audio during commercials. However, I couldn't even get the timer function to work and tried every code the manual gave me. Just not impressed with the product.

Immediately after unpacking I had problems with the initial setup. I could not enter the TV code. After about 30 minutes of reading and re-reading the instructions, following the steps over and over again without success, I almost gave up. But there is one more thing I thought I should try out out of curiosity. I replaced the batteries even though the batteries that came with it were said to be new. After that, the product works as expected. Otherwise I had no problems. Now I can turn off the…

I LOVE this device. I bought this for my grandparents who hate listening to TV commercials but have a hard time finding the mute button on their regular remotes. He does what he says - turns off the TV sound for the time he is told to. You just press the big white button and everything is much easier than finding the mute button on other remotes I use. It's about the size of a Roku remote with a giant mute button. Programming was very easy - my grandparents' TV code was in the little manual…

This is a great solution to an annoying problem. I really love this device and now when I watch TV I absolutely need it. I've always hated commercials and just don't want to hear them. Now I enjoy little quiet breaks when commercials are on and I love it. At the beginning of a commercial break, just press the big button 8 times. This will mute the TV for 240 seconds (4 minutes), which is about the duration of most commercial breaks. In most cases, the timer turns on the TV sound as soon as the…

This is a long-awaited addition to my remote control collection. It works absolutely as advertised; Mute both in time steps with a large button and with a simple manual mute with a smaller button. Much easier to grab than trying to find the mute button on a cable box or TV latch - too many buttons on those things! It was easy for me to sync the remote to the TV (note: the digital display showed a 5 digit code, not 4 as described in the manual; I just skipped the first 0 and synced the first…

suits me. I found it odd that it couldn't be programmed to a custom time, but I did notice that some shows change the length of commercial breaks based on when they happen within an hour. So once you understand the rhythm of the show, you simply know how many taps to use. If you make a mistake, no big deal, just hit the mute button yourself to toggle. Another thing you'll learn from is after you start a timed mute, make sure you put the mutedaddy down and point it at the TV so it can toggle at…

In my opinion, MuteDaddy is an example of a great idea that is being rethought. Something ruined the great concept of giving people a BIG, easily accessible mute button to block annoying ads. I don't know if this was an assumption about how people use the TV's mute button, or if she just created a feature to match the manufacturer's assumption that people turn off ads. For me, MuteDaddy is a failure. The function of this big beautiful white mute button has a serious flaw. This big white mute…
