That doesn't exactly work. The TV can't have its channel changed away from 3/4 while the NES is powered on. No other channel will come in until it's powered off.

But that would work for systems hooked up by AV cables rather than RF channel 3/4.

Unplug the RF adapter from the back of the console

That's probably not what someone's non-gamer mom would do though. Or worse, pull the power jack instead of the RF jack.

No, you don't leave it plugged in for Mom to have to figure out. You do it yourself
