SmartControl Motion: Wave hello to your new remote control

SmartControl Motion: Wave hello to your new remote control

Universal remote controls have long been a part of our lives and I for one definitely remember the magic of being able to control the TV and the VCR (just saying VCR feels like it sprays my face with wrinkles) with just the one remote and how cool that was. I even remember one of the rich kids from school having a remote control built into his watch and turning…

Capitalise on the digital switchover with Ross’s range of High Performance aerials

My parents have recently had terrible trouble with the picture on their digital TV, which was a Sony may I note and bought for a tidy sum not that long ago.

Think you’re special because you have sexy new flat-screen TV? Well some people have two.

Alas there is only a single feed from the Sky HD box….

Samsung Free-D TV app

Still not convinced that 3D is the next big thing? Neither am I, but Samsung are doubling down (yet again) with an innovative 3D VOD system beamed direct to their latest and greatest TVs. Couple this with their price cut on 3D glasses and at the very least they deserve full marks for trying. If you have a D series Samsung Smart TV (it pains me to write this as…

TruLink 1-Port 60GHz WirelessHD Kit review

Like most people reading this, I have shiny flat screen TV and nothing detracts from its futuristic chic more than the mess of cables and wires dangling from the back. I can wirelessly stream HD content from YouTube or my local network or hard drives, which feels like I’m living in the future. But one peek behind the set and the tangled mess of wires instantly reminds me of a…
