One remote to rule them all…

Friday 02 January

First things first, a very Happy New Year to everyone in Gadgetland! Now, if you’re anything like us at The Gadget Show, you were probably overloaded with new technology this festive season. And that’s brilliant, especially if you like sharing your sofa with more remote controls than people. Seriously, they’re worse than breeding rabbits. Before you know it you have a tribe of little baby remotes all crying for attention.

One way to put the proverbial snip on remote reproduction is to get one handy controller to rule them all. Yes, I’m talking about a universal remote to give you the power over all the other pretenders to the remote kingdom!

Here, I get to grips with one of the best universal remotes on the market – the Logitech Harmony 550. It boasts compatibility with over 100,000 appliances, so it should suit your needs, and has a user-friendly web-based software for updating your remote. You’ll be master of all you survey in no time.

Also in this episode of Web TV, Jon gets to grips with the LG Renoir and there’s your latest dose of the week’s news. Enjoy!
