The Bottom Line The Peel is an affordable iPhone/iPod universal remote that helps you filter your TV viewing options, but its current shortcomings--inability to bookmark future shows for recording and the dearth of a native iPad app--make the $99 hardware component tough to recommend. The Logitech Harmony 1100 is an excellent touch-screen universal remote that corrects most of the shortcomings and frustrations of its predecessor, but its high price will relegate it to high-end home theaters only. The Logitech Harmony 900 is, hands down, the best universal remote control we've ever tested. The Logitech Harmony 650 is one of the best universal remotes you can buy for less than $100.
