I know you. You’re the geek with an audio receiver, a DVR and/or HD cable box, and at least two video game systems fighting for the scant HDMI ports on the back of your mondo LCD HD TV, which may or may not be wall-mounted over your living room fireplace. I also know your daily woes: too many freaking remotes to deal with. I’ve got the ingenious solution made especially for you: the Harmony 510 Advanced Universal Remote. And trust me, this is *not* your average, old-school universal.

Program the ‘clicker’ (as we call it in our house) with the included software CD, and you’ll never have to fiddle with another remote again. Once all your current device info is loaded on (it doesn’t take long to find your make and model in the vast library on the software), you’re literally one click away from a quiet living room to watching ‘Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen’ on the PS3’s Blu-ray.

The best feature on this remote is the ‘Help’ button. If something goes awry in switching between DirectTV and the Xbox, the help button will try to auto-correct your TV or audio feed, then will walk you through a simple troubleshooting menu until everything is tuned properly.

Really, really a must-have gift for all year round, but especially sweet to give around the holidays. You’ll be the hit of the household, and the lucky recipients will be singing your praise when they no longer have to search under couch cushions and the coffee table to locate all the remotes.
