Canon ZR-1000

$213.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
This is really nifty because you can make it your standard control (the harder left or right you push the faster it zooms) or you can set it to a number and it zooms at that speed only.
from "Auto Focus", www.bhphotovideo.com
Excellent Remote.
from "RevCurmudgeon", www.bhphotovideo.com
I ordered the ZR-1000 for my Canon XH A1.
from "TEAM DAGGER", www.bhphotovideo.com
it is very easy to use, the only thing that would make it better is if the focus was beside the zoom buttons.
from "Little Radio", www.bhphotovideo.com

Sony RM-AX1400 LCD

$73.00 Est. at Amazon

from MikeS from Wausau, WI, www.circuitcity.com
the remote is hard to program on the computer.
from chrisell, www.shopping.com
100% customisable, and as such, might not be suited to the pc-challenged amongst us.
from www.amazon.com
the only downside: you really need to have your computer in the room with your home theater while setting up this remote.
from www.amazon.com
you can also stack up codes, aliases and delays together - effectively any key on the remote can become a macro.
from www.amazon.com
it does take a bit of effort to set up and if you don't have a computer near the tv then programming this can be inconvenient.

from www.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.
from www.amazon.com
The quality of this remote (and the final result of some tinkering) - is worth the extra effort.
from www.amazon.com
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.
from www.amazon.com
I have used other programmable remotes from Sony, a Prono Neo and URC, as well as two versions of TIVO remotes.
from www.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 pros; its user friendly,lots of extras,hard buttons controls and no pc needed.
from Gadget Fan, www.newegg.com
other thoughts: i dumped cable and get my hdtv over the air, so even though i could see what was on i needed to fire up my pc to look up what is on later.
from www.amazon.com
in addition it allows you to access the internet for the tv programs in your area.
from www.amazon.com
the guide and arrow buttons at the top seem more natural for me to want to use to control the tv's guide and arrows, not the ones on the remote.
