Best Universal Remote Controls for Guy

if you operate with more than 1 remote to watch tv (cable or satellite), use your dvd, and listen to music (cd or radio), it's a must product.

this is a good product, i gave this to my mother in law, taught her to use it with an oder tv/vcr combo, cable box and a dvd player.

i have a simple magnavox dvd player, an at&t uverse (cisco) dvr and a tevion (aldi brand) television that up until now i could never find a remote control that would operate it completely.

my television remote was supposed to be a universal remote but it couldn't control the dvr.

just purchased a new tv and thought that it was about time i had a universal remote to control all my various components: tv, sony home theater, jvc vcr (we still use it to watch old home videos of

had about 4 remotes i had to toggle between to switch all the inputs on the tv and reciever all the time and it got tobe annoying..so i decided to buy this remote and consolidate everything into one.

say you want to watch dvd, you just program this as an activity on your remote, so when you press that one button it will turn on your dvd, tv - set the correct input for tv and turn on audio receiver

the remote would set the tv inputs to whatever it randomly wanted, but after and hour on the the phone with level 2 support, its working perfectly now.

there is really not much i would change about this product and it is a must have for anyone whose xbox 360 is a central component of their home theater.

it's great as i use my 5.1 system for dvd's and 360 so i want the av receiver to control the volume for those, but for the wii and a vcr tape, i want the volume control to be on the tv.

it was still necessary to go to the television or use the tv remote to switch inputs to switch from tv or vcr to dvd.

i mean, come on, if you have a remote to watch tv you can probably see, and you don't need a noise to let you know it is charging.

control.it's so nice having the different activities programmed in so that when you want to watch tv you only have to hit one button.it's a very stylish looking remote that isn't bulky by any means.

also, the 'activities' feature is great because it lets you control your tv/receiver/dvd/vcr/whatever at the same time.

but after i hooked it up to the internet and had it completely set up to control my tv it was beyond amazing.

what's great about it:?works better to control my dvr than the original remote once it is tweaked great for netflix on xbox 360 "changes flawlessly between inputs on tv.

.for example i press cabletv and it turns on my tv it turns on my home theater system and it turns on my cable box all on the right settings.the only disadvantage is that if for whatever reason it

my wife now loves the home theater and uses it every day because she can.

but this is minor, considering my primary purpose was to control my home theater system.

i have a standard home theater setup - projector, dvd, receiver, cable box, screen - it handled most of these very well.
