As 2011 draws to a close and we all look to see just where we put that 2012 calendar, our thoughts go out to everyone who has contributed to making Remote Central such a great place to be for the past year.
This includes our valued advertisers, without whom we would not be here (support those that support RC!); all of our volunteer forum moderators who do a fantastic job fighting spam and maintaining the peace; the great folks at ipHouse.com who keep our server running in tip-top shape and always available; plus the custom installation and control community as a whole – everyone who takes the time to interact by sharing their knowledge, wit, files (thanks djy!)... or even just their two cents!
Please accept my heartfelt appreciation – and all the best for the coming year!
And if you didn't get that special clicker you were waiting for... no worries! You can use our reviews, user reviews and the Which Remote Should I Buy? forum for help deciding exactly what you need!

It's time to scout the stores for universal remote control deals on this Cyber Monday!
First up, Amazon.com is having a Lighting Deal on the
Harmony 700 at 8:15 AM PST, or 11:15 AM EST. Next, later on today there's another deal for the Acoustic Research Xsight Color at 6:15 PM PST, or 9:15 PM EST. (The normal price is $59.99, but note that you can buy the higher-end Xsight Touch for just $52.67).
For either of these you'll need to click on the deal at the right time from this page.
I'm not seeing a huge number of remote control deals online for this Black Friday, however here's a few for interest:
Amazon.com is having a Lighting Deal on the Harmony 650 at 9:15 AM EST. The normal price is $65, and the special price will be... less. You'll find the deal countdown on this page. Also find the Logitech Harmony One for $139.99.
Those of you who remember my original CEDIA 2011 video release back in September, will recall that I mentioned there would be a grand total of 11 videos this year... and of course today’s announcement make number 12! Initial counting issues aside, this is indeed the final episode in this year’s series – and it’s a doozey!
