How to Find That Wandering Remote Control
Since everyone in a family has a different idea of where to put the remote control, finding it can be frustrating. Finally, technology can help locate these wanderers. Radio Shack's 8-in-1 Universal Remote ($80) comes with a Remote Finder, a small device that transmits a radio-frequency call to the remote itself. Press a button, and your channel-changer starts making a shrill beeping noise, allowing you to track it down easily. How do you keep from losing the Remote Finder? Attach it to your TV with the included Velcro strip. You can still carry it around the house when hunting particularly elusive prey.
