tvCompass SR 1500: TV Remote meets cell phone

Cell phones have been getting rapidly more complex for some years leaving their TV controlling brethren doing little more that they were twenty years ago. Well, that was before the tvCompass SR 1500 Digital Media Remote. This remote makes traditional models look like those brick mobile phones from the 1980’s that ran on car batteries!
