How many remote controls do you have sitting in your media room? Personally  have way too many and I ask my self constantly, why can’t I just use my iOS device to control everything. Sure I can control my TiVo with the TiVo app and the Denon receiver with the Denon app and the Samsung disc player with the Samsung app, but that is too many apps to keep switching around. Well it looks like Harmony has heard us and came up with the Logitech Harmony Link.  Just connect the black UFO-shaped Logitech transmitter to your WiFi and you’ll be able to control over 5,000 different kinds of TVs, cable boxes, receivers, and assorted tech.

[Available now from Harmony for $99]
