Philips RC9800i remote control
Your front room is probably starting to look a little crowded, especially as your laptop, DVD player, stereo, amps and TV can all be routed through the same speakers and each needs its own remote. Marvellously, the RC9800i is designed to control all audiovisual devices, past, present and future. Using a combination of infra-red and Wi-Fi, its menu even allows you to view laptop content on your TV, and it can also update TV listings from the net. Long overdue in our view.
