Tivo!

Oh Tivo and it's remote, how I love thee!! Now Preening on the Coffee Table: The TiVo Remote Control

While this may be one of the best gadgets ever created, the DirecTV version I own has some flaws: the TV Power button is the same size as and is right next to the '1' button, sometimes causing eme to turn off the TV unexpectedly, and the 'Clear' and 'Enter/Last' buttons are the same size as the other buttons around them, making reutrning to the channel you were previously watching difficult. But for the overall joy that this remote brings me, I'll more than overlook a few design flaws that seem, at least as this article seems to imply, that were added on by DirecTV.
