Griffin Beacon

The Griffin Beacon is a device that serves as a bridge between Apple's iPhone or iPod Touch and your living room TV setup. It is designed to work in conjunction with the Dijit iOS application which turns the idevice into a universal remote.

The idevice is then connected to the Griffin Beacon wirelessly which then transmit any signal from the idevice to your TV via infrared just like traditional remotes. The Beacon is advertised to support over 200,000 devices including TVs, Blu-Ray players, and DVRs. The Dijit application itself can control your Netflix Instant play list and find new TV shows or movies right from the app. The Griffin Beacon and Dijit app combination is a good solution for people who are looking for a flexible and powerful universal remote control setup.
