An executive with the nation's largest TV remote manufacturer that recently inked a six-year deal with cable giant Comcast Corp. says that touchscreen remotes like those on iPhones could be on the horizon. "It's not just a clicker anymore," Lou Hughes, an executive vice president at TV remote manufacturer and developer Universal Electronics Inc., said in an interview. Hughes also noted that the new deal with Comcast extends beyond just TV remotes. Last summer, the California-based Universal Electronics acquired Ecolink Intelligent Technology Inc., also of California, that develops wireless security and automation product for homes.
