Unclutter Your Life / Why Wi-Fi? March 10, 2008

Unclutter your life
If you have a basic home entertainment setup in your living room or basement this means you have at least three remote controls. You have a remote control for your television, a remote control for your cable or satellite, and another remote for your DVD player. In most cases, the universal remote you received with one of these three products is either too complicated to program so it controls all three devices or it lacks the functions you need to effectively use all three of these components. So, youre forced to search for the DVD remote when you decide you want to watch a movie. But wait, dont forget to locate the television remote too, so you can switch the video input to your DVD player. At this point, you might as well grab the cable or satellite box remote as well so you can power down that receiver since you wont be using it for at least the length of the movie. Perhaps, youve kept your coffee table cluttered with these remotes so they remain within your grasp or you have a drawer (which is ironically located right next to your television and the power buttons on all three devices) that stores all of these remotes. Well, once youve used all three remotes you sit down to enjoy the hottest new movie that everyone has been waiting to see and you think, Id like to add a home theater system to my new HDTV. But that means youll get at least one more remote to worry about so you shrug it off and watch the movie in stereo instead of full surround sound like it was meant to be experienced. Want to learn how you can have one remote to control every component of your home theater to it fullest capabilities that is easy to program? Let the experts at Harmony show you how to remove the clutter from your home and simplify your life.
