Just when you thought it was safe to leave the living room, ESPN and tvCompass hit us with ESPN The Ultimate Remote, an internet-connected Wi-Fi device that combines advanced home theater control and one-touch real-time access to sports, standings, team information and news. Now you can grab a beer, park your ass in the recliner, and still be a somewhat productive member of society.

Set-up's a snap. Since it's wireless, you don't need to hook it up to your computer to program it like other remotes. Just follow the intuitive prompts. Then once you've got all your equipment punched in, not only can you control all your audio and video from the comfort of your chair, you can also get one-touch access to the Internet, an electronic program guide for TV listings, all the sports info you could ever want, a weather widget, entertainment search, and even send emails and text messages to your buddies when their team is down big with a minute to go. All it's missing is one-touch pizza delivery and a bottle opener.
