One For All SmartControl wins test !!

The Inquirer

AS YOUR HOME THEATRE setup grows a new problem arises; how do you control the multitude of devices you have without juggling five or six different remote controls? Thankfully there are a number of cost effective solutions available with two of the more affordable ones featured here.

Universal remote controls aim to declutter your coffee table or sofa by replacing several devices with just one. There's a wide range of units available with prices to match. Manufacturers such as Universal Electronics and Philips aim for the high-end with products that offer a high degree of customisation and a price tag to make you baulk. Others such as Logitech have gone for the more attainable end of the market offering a balance between customisation and price. One For All is Universal Electronics' consumer brand and has been around for the best part of two decades. Firmly entrenched in the value-end of the market, it originally catered to those who had lost their original remote control unit. However with the Smartcontrol it's making a move into the universal remote territory allowing the consolidation of other remotes and at £30 it's nothing short of a steal.
