One For All launches XSight universal remotes

4 February 2009 16:40 GMT / By Amy-Mae Elliott

One For All has launched the Xsight universal remote control that's capable of controlling up to 18 devices - about 12 more than the average consumer needs, we reckon.

Stating that the "desire to control everything from one remote is no longer a lifestyle choice but a necessity", the company claims ultimate ease of use as the Xsight "sets itself up".

Users just need to select the type of device, and then the brand - from a list of 1000 - and the channel box will do the rest.

Advanced users can set up shortcut keys for access to "favourites", "profiles" and "activities". An example of an activity is to "watch a DVD" where at the press of one button, the remote will select the correct AV channel on the TV, switch on the DVD player and start it playing.

Two models are available, the Colour URC 8602 with a 2.2-inch colour screen and the Touch URC 8603 with a 2.2-inch colour touchscreen.

The Xsight Colour is £99.99 and the Xsight Touch is £129.99, available from Argos.

  • First we were too lazy to tune the TV so we got preset buttons
    Then we were too lazy to get up and push the buttons so we got the remote
    Now we're too lazy to push four buttons on the remote so we have this
    The next step is to invent a robot to watch the TV for us so we can nap instead.

    You better make sure you don't lose it either, or you'll have 18 gadgets with no control...
