10 time saving tech tips
Don’t get a universal remote
Or rather, do. But don’t buy a remote – use your phone. Although few handsets have IR functionality, you can pick up a Wi-Fi activated IR transmitter that works with a universal remote app on your phone. Our favourite (now at a bargain price) is the Gear4 UnityRemote (£60, gear4.com), although it’s sadly still iOS only.

Voice dictation in the comfort of my own home is most definitely faster the typing on my phone!

Trust me on the unity remote. It WON'T save you time. It's a buggy monster. Crashes regularly, disconnects from blue tooth regularly which involves turning off Bluetooth on iOS then restarting the base unit. Many commands don't work properly. It's the worst bit of kit I've ever owned.
