Universal remote controls cost between $150 and $1000+, but if you have an iPhone, then you can have a universal remote for just $10. No, you won't get a gift from Apple, is just a new application for iPhone created by Zeev Braude. The application is called My TV Remote and can be downloaded from iTunes. When you buy it you will be shipped an infrared emitter to create a link between the phone and the TV. The emitter has to be plugged in the headphone jack.

The application works a bit different than a universal remote. Instead of flipping through channels, you will get a list of channels in a TV guide and you can flip through the channels just like you do it through your music. You can even see what shows are on each channel. Cool, must I say!
