1.0 out of 5 stars DOA - typical for URC products, September 29, 2007

By	J. D. Mayo (San Jose, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My remote was dead on arrival. Would not function or even light up. Replaced batteries, shook it around, etc. If you look at other reviews on other products from this company there is a small percentage of customers that get a dead remote.

I'm getting it replaced because I do like the look and feel of the device, and the manual seems nice. Really would have liked it to work at the first go.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Amazing deal, February 9, 2008

I genuninely adore this remote. Whith 7 banks this remote can control anything with an infra-red reciever. Some banks (aud) for instance I have controlling more than one device since every button is programable. With the frequency that I loose things this remote was a godsend because no I only have to keep track of it!

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm marrying this thing, October 5, 2007

By	Carolyn Hayes (Ann Arbor, MI USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

We had three remote controls and an X-box controller for our various electronics. The TiVo remote turned on the TV and adjusted the volume on the stereo, but we needed the TV remote to change the aspect ratio and the stereo remote to turn on the unit and switch modes between TV and DVD player. The X-box controller was for playing X-box games and for watching DVDs, which (especially for a non-gamer) was lame -- I kept nudging the buttons because the controller didn't lie flat and out of the way like a remote does.

I had planned to get a fancy Logitech remote, but decided to save $100 or more and get one that has nearly every capability of the more expensive model. The devices were easy to automatically program with manufacturer codes, and the learning function for individual buttons was simple, although some buttons had to be programmed more than once before they worked flawlessly. But after the initial "learning" period, which took about a day, I have yet to go back and make a correction to the learned functions. Instead, I'm incredibly glad I never have to do the put-down-pick-up dance with my old remotes again.

The video-game console specificity is great; I can use a remote control to play a DVD again, and it's made for the X-box so the ABXY buttons from the controller are right there on the remote.

Unless you absolutely need beginner-level simplicity like the one-button programming the upper-tier Logitech models offer (e.g., "WATCH TV," "LISTEN TO MUSIC"), save your money and get one like this instead.
