1.0 out of 5 stars
Looks Great but is not good, January 10, 2003

This review is from: RCA RCU1000B Touchscreen Learning Remote Control (Electronics)
I got this remote as a gift. After spending about 5 hours to program it, it locked up and I had to remove the batteries and reset it. I finally got it porgrammed but it eats batteries about every 3 days. It also forgets the learned functions constanstly. I gave it 2 weeks and I am sick of it! It is being returned. Too bad I like the LCd screen remotes and there button flexability.

Solid remote, good price, March 11, 2003

I noticed all the negative feedback after purchasing this remote. I picked it up about a month ago, and have really enjoyed it. Took me all of 10 minutes to figure out how the various setup options worked, had it completely configured in about an hour. Didn't have any trouble with the learning function (perhaps those that did weren't holding the remotes properly as specified in the manual). All my equipment is working perfectly with this remote. Give it a chance, return it if you encounter the problems others are mentioning. Haven't had to change batteries either, or maxed out the memory yet.

Not a touchscreen fan, but it's still a good remote., April 29, 2004
This review is from: RCA RCU1000B Touchscreen Learning Remote Control (Electronics)
I've had absolutely no problems with setting up and programming this remote. It's really easy to program, of course you have to read the manual, but it should take an idiot about 20 minutes to get things up and running.
The problem is the touchscreen, if you have fat fingers, you might have a problem. And for me, I'm always looking to change the channel quickly, and at night, I don't want to be looking around to change the channel, I like to feel the buttons and memorize where the numbers are, but with the touchscreen, no can do. Of course, that is my own problem and shouldn't be used to put this remote down.
This remote truely is a great remote and can easily get a 5 star. I'm surprised to read the other feedbacks about the physical problems of this remote. I've had mine for over a year now and it's been great.
If you're looking for a remote that can do anything and everything, then this is the one for you.
