Tired of playing around with five or six different remote controls? There is the cable TV remote, the DVD remote, the television remote and so on . . .

Forget about all these remote controls and get yourself a "universal remote".

There is the Universal Remote FX1 which is perhaps one of the simplest remote controls to use (pictured above). This unit can be trained to turn several units off and on simultaneously and is easily trained to function in a simple home theater context.

The Universal Remote RF30 pictured above is designed for the home A/V enthusiast to control all aspects of a home theater. Complete with a touchscreen, this Universal Remote can replace up to 15 different remote units. It is designed to operate through walls and into outdoor areas so that the home enthusiast can control not only the home theater but also automated window treatments, lighting, pool area controls and more.

These Universal Remote Controls are available in the USA at Amazon, but I am note sure that these remote controls are available in other countries.
