The most important thing I need to add to the reviews here is that this remote has no ability to program keys. It DOES control multiple devices well, but once you've designed a key sequence (an "activity" or a "macro"), there's no way to assign that sequence to an unused key. Philips says you can "do anything" with a single key...but it's not really true, because before you hit that single key you have to scroll through all your devices and macros to find just the one you want. Just to summarize... from Amazon.com Sent an email to World Wide Distributors the company that sold it to me ... They said "you can't return it if you opened the case it came in" ...how stupid is that. The Chatted with Phillips...they said well that can happen we are still updating the software and adding more converter boxes" ... I said what good dose that do me ... from Amazon.com Highs: Price, Design and easy of use, macro type functionality (activities is the term that is used by Philips), programming was a snap once you get use to working the remote. Cons: Wanted to have the ability to move some of the major functions/commands to the top of the list on the menu screen from Amazon.com It just repeats itself in, like, 5 different languages. The buttons are a little close together for changing channels, play and fast forward, etc but if they were any bigger the remote would be too big to handle comfortably. It does feel a little heavy compared to other universal remotes but it feels balanced. The device itself guides you through it's programming and you aren't limited to one tv, one vcr and so on. from Amazon.com I have been using the Philips SRU8015 remote for a couple of months now. This is by far the best remote I have seen in the market! from Amazon.com I just received the brand new PRESTIGO 8015/37 remote on January 31, and it is an all around beautiful to look at remote. I have 4 devices programmed, and it performs all functions available on the originals. from Amazon.com Coming from a Logitech Harmony 1000 (whose touchscreen eventually drove us nuts), I had high hopes that the SRU8015 would be a more straightforward but worthy replacement. In some ways it is, in others, it is not. from Amazon.com Anyone fawning over this remote has either not used a lot of remotes, or they wrote this while in the "honeymoon stage". This remote is one of the worst on the market in terms of its user interface and inability to handle program edits. from Amazon.com In some ways it is, in others, it is not. Granted, it's considerably cheaper than the Harmony, but it's frustrating that it comes so very close to being excellent, and yet falls so far short. Firstly, unlike the brochure and Philips' website indicates, the backlight on the unit I received doesn't turn itself on by picking it up. Actually, I've seen it turn the light on 3 or 4 times, but with no rhyme or reason. from Amazon.com Highs: Price, Design and easy of use, macro type functionality (activities is the term that is used by Philips), programming was a snap once you get use to working the remote. Cons: Wanted to have the ability to move some of the major functions/commands to the top of the list on the menu screen from Amazon.com
