Here’s an interesting gadget for you.  For only $49.99 you can get a TV Silencer or Stereo Silencer, which mutes and your TV or Stereo when the phone rings.  The TV Silencer will mute your TV or stereo and even pause your DVD if your watching a DVD.  Basically its an IR transmitter that you point to your TV and when you house phone rings, the electric pulse is detected(when phone rings) and sensout to the transmitter to pause your equipment.  I’m pretty sure I can get the TV Silencer to work with my PVR satellite setup.  After reading the install instructions on the TV Silencer website, it is clear that the TV Silencer is programmable.  That means rather then programming the mute button, I will program it  to hit the pause button on my PVR.  When the phone rings PVR will pause my show.  No Sound and no missing my shows.  Great for elderly, busy house full of children, and for me home office.  You can find more information at Savings Headquarters.
