The Peel universal remote is a combo platter including a transmitter and receiver that keeps in touch with your home network via ZigBee and passes on commands to your gear via IR, operated via a free app for iOS or Android app that serves as both remote keypad and as program guide that learns your preferences (and makes recommendations based on 'em). It also gives you (if you're so inclined) a convenient front-end to your various social accounts, so you can keep your friends up-to-date about your thoughts on the latest installment of Storage Wars.
Interested? We're giving a Peel setup away this week to one lucky reader.
As in last week's Miles Davis Trumpet headphone giveaway, all we ask for in return is a little advice. Let us know what kind of coverage you'd like to see on the site of the rapidly changing universe of TV and video gear and services. More coverage of huge LCDs and plasmas? More detailed calibration charts? More on cutting-edge tech? More on connected TV and digital media receivers? Still interested in those things that spin the shiny pieces of plastic? Let us know what you think we should be looking at.
The winner will be chosen randomly from among those who leave on-topic comments below (you'll have to register — no anonymous commenters, we need a valid e-mail contact address to inform you of your win), so don't be afraid to speak your mind. We'll take entries until midnight (Eastern Time), on October 26th, and notify the winner via e-mail on Friday, October 28th. Good luck!
More reports on computer audio. Streaming is replacing the silver disc in my home.
More receiver and speaker reviews, and more of "what is means" in the test bench. Some education of why what things are terrible vs acceptable would be good.
I would like to see you write about and test/compare that products that you think will best allow us to integrate all of our various electronic toys in a seamless manner. Of course the fewer the better, with ease of use and the best quality. Some routers (Apple) allow you to plug in a printer so it becomes wireless from anyone on the network and also lets you listen to your music and videos. I have a feeling we are going to be bombarded with these toys and need your help to sift through them. Thank you

Enjoy the magazine and site. Would like to see more affordable (aka mid-priced) speakers and receivers.
I'd like to see more articles about how consumer products are entering the business world. I'd also like to get updated on OLED.
I would like to see energy usage numbers for monthly and annual costs
I want one! :)
