Too many channels can sometimes be a bad thing. Don’t bother memorizing that massive channel lineup; the Philips SRU8015 does all of the work for you.

Instead of punching in the channel up/down buttons or browsing the electronic channel guide, this little remote provides instant access to your favorite channels, via a 2-inch LCD and white key backlighting. Up to 100 channel icons can be stored as favorites. 

The SRU8015 doesn’t just control the TV though; you can use it for up to 15 home entertainment devices, including a few HVAC and lighting systems. Now that’s entertainment!

Priced at $179.99, the Prestigo SRU8015 is scheduled to start selling next month.
