Place the remote on the bottom of your chin. Then press the button. Depending on your height, this can almost double your range.

The higher the better

It can't see through metal

Ground plane

Of course these factors also apply to proximity detectors at 44ghz.

Been around since at least the early 90s Clarkson did it on top gear many years ago.

Now can we end this daft thread?
