Remember when you had to get out of your sofa to turn over the TV channel? Well, the modern remote control has saved us TV watchers a lot of hassle, but this extra large universal remote takes the standard remote control to the next level.

For a start, it's almost a foot long (27cm) so you will have a hard time loosing it, and also the extra large buttons mean even those with poor finger dexterity or whose eyesight isn’t quite so good will have no problems pressing the correct button.

It's also a universal remote as well, so you can replace up to 6 of your standard remotes with this one. Programmed to be compatible with all the major brands of TV sets, DVD players, satellite and cable receivers and AV amplifiers, it includes all the usual functions (volume, channel etc) plus many of the ‘extras’ such as Teletext and Fastext. Setting it up is easy, using standard setup codes or the built-in auto code search function.

The world's biggest remote control? We’re not 100% sure, but at around a foot long it's got to be up there!
