Universal remote controls are godsends when it comes to home cinema. When you have multiple devices to control at the same time, the plethora of remotes that has to sit on your chair arm becomes tiresome and confusing, so a single remote that does the lot is always going to be a welcome relief.
Surprisingly though, there aren't a huge number of remotes available that do the job really well. One brand that has always excelled though is Harmony which was later taken over by Logitech.
One of their favourite models is the tried and trusted Logitech Harmony 525 which is a good value and attractive silver remote control that does everything you could really ask of it. It has 'activities' where you can easily set it up to turn on multiple devices at the click on a button - you simply choose which devices are turned on for what activity!
The other main remote at the moment is the Logitech Harmony One which is a much curvier looking remote in a gloss black colour. Although not as inexpensive as the Harmony 525, it does have the added advantage of having an impressive full colour touchscreen.
Whichever one you choose, you're home movie watching will be that little bit easier!
