Who doesn’t miss getting up from a comfy couch just to switch TV channels or adjust the volume? In the 1950s, Howard Manischewitz grew tired of television commercials being louder than the actual TV programs. So, he quickly came up with a solution that allowed him to turn off the audio without having to leave the comfort of his favorite chair. He called his new invention, “[Blab-Off](https://www.earlytelevision.org/pdf/story_of_blab-off.pdf),” for obvious reasons. Universal remote controls have come a long way since the Blab-Off, and their evolution is certainly keeping up with the times. Two of the most recent innovative universal remotes include a [companion remote](https://www.amazon.com/stores/page/CC8E3AB5-4347-44D8-9AB6-48A94B7B37A0?ingress=2&visitId=df0d3946-b2a6-41be-8b00-cd8f57afbbaf&ref_=ast_bln)and a [Bluetooth programmable remote](https://www.amazon.com/Universal-Smartphone-Panasonic-6-Device-SRP2017B/dp/B07XSCPLYJ?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1&psc=1). What sets them apart are their amazing bonus features that are sure to save time and make your life easier.
