I got this as an "open box" item. I did not know that I needed an RF module but that only cost an extra $100. I initially regretted not getting the new Logitech universal remote. However, after getting this programmed(by a pro), I am very happy with the purchase. from Amazon.com I've recently upgraded my entire home theater system to a full THX setup and wanted to treat myself to a comparable universal remote. Right from the start I was disappointed in this remote as only two of my six components were in the online database (all name brand gear). from Amazon.com I also redistribute video to other rooms, so the RF features were a major reason for an upgrade. I have used other programmable remotes from Sony, a Prono Neo and URC, as well as two versions of TIVO remotes. The MX-810 will do everything except the two-way communication supported by my receiver. It is the first universal remote I have found that works well with a TIVO. from Amazon.com The price advertised here is very attractive, but anyone contemplating it should do some research on Universal Remotes' VERY aggressive limitations on support. URC has been focusing their business more and more on professional installers and high end dealers. from Amazon.com It's rarely done well, and when it's bad, it's utterly frustrating. I'm a huge fan of URC, and have an R7 that I've used for years. I eagerly ponied up the cash for the MX-810 when it came out. The remote is sexy as all get-out. from Amazon.com I've recently upgraded my entire home theater system to a full THX setup and wanted to treat myself to a comparable universal remote. Right from the start I was disappointed in this remote as only two of my six components were in the online database (all name brand gear). from Amazon.com The quality of this remote (and the final result of some tinkering) - is worth the extra effort. The bright, clear display; fit and finish; solid button feel - are un-matched. from Amazon.com I basically agree with a lot of the other reviews I read before making the purchase. The remote is great (though I really wish it came with a docking station instead of a cheesy adapter to plug it into for recharging) but the software sucks. Once you learn how the software works (which you'll do on your own as there's next to no documentation) there's an amazing array of things you can do--definitely worth buying through here and not at the Big Box stores. from Amazon.com I have a system that includes an HD TIVO, DVD, HDTV, VCR, CD changer, and an antenna rotor. I also redistribute video to other rooms, so the RF features were a major reason for an upgrade. I have used other programmable remotes from Sony, a Prono Neo and URC, as well as two versions of TIVO remotes. The MX-810 will do everything except the two-way communication supported by my receiver. from Amazon.com I did a lot of research before choosing this remote, and it got the nod over others in the same class, because the button layout is much much better than the offerings from Logitech. The rechargeable battery is great, although I was tempted by the "charging cradle" with the Harmony. from Amazon.com
