The best app might be the Smart Remote. Just as the DVR made TV Guide look hopelessly retrograde, Peel's Smart Remote app updates the process for the tablet age.

The most unique aspect of the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus is the IR blaster and the bundled Peel Smart Remote app, which lets you use the tablet as a universal remote for your home theater system.

…Peel users will start out with the app’s familiar Top Picks menu of TV recommendations tailored their tastes, but it won’t be limited to live TV anymore — you’ll also see content from Netflix and recorded on your DVR, with a little label indicating the source. There will also be new sections in the app limited specifically to Netflix and DVR content… One additional benefit — the Netflix search interface in Peel makes it much easier to type things in than the hunt-and-peck you may be familiar with if you’ve tried to use Netflix on your TV.
