Graet remote........easy set up
I set up the remote today and so far it works wonderful. Set up took about ten minutes! Amazing.....I bought this remote not because it can control up to 15 devices, but because it has a rechargable battery. I only control four devices.
Must have remote, well worth the money
This remote works great if you have people in or visiting your house that have no idea how to switch your entertainment system between cable, dvd, video games, cds, etc. The remote turns on the correct components, changes the input settings and switches the volume control to the correct device for the activity you just selected. It is easy to program via your computer and you can customize every possible aspect, down to reassigning what each button does. The only potential complaint I have is that the volume and channel up/down buttons are a little too small, but other than that it works great. With the charging system, you don't even have to buy batteries.
great remote
I never thought I would be so excited about a tv remote but this thing is better than I ever hoped. It is very easy to set up and even easier to use. My wife even likes it and she is not a fan of all my electronic goodies so she was the ultimate test and it passed with flying colors. One touch of "watch tv" or "watch dvd" and this remote does the rest it is simply a great tool if you have several things to control.
Love this remote!
I love this remote, we have set it up with a Sharp TV, Onkyo receiver, XBOX 360, PS3, Wii and LG DVD player. It's not bluetooth, so it doesn't actually control the Wii or PS3, but we already had USB remote for the PS3, and it can be set up to work with that. And it will still switch the TV and Receiver to the settings needed for those systems. We've been using it for about a month now, and love it! Definitely recommend it, but be aware that if you were planning on using it with any bluetooth, it's not going to work. We think it makes up for it with all the other features.
Outstanding Remote
This remote ended our remote clutter. The Logitech Harmony 880 replaced 5 different remotes and made the operation of all the electronics easy. We no long need to remember the setting of each component to operate them together. This has ended our operational frustration. I would recommend this remote to EVERYONE! It is easy to program and takes all of the guesswork out of things. It's a great value!
