i didn't want to still have an original remote just because some function wouldn't work with a universal remote...
thus i could have 10 devices and 10 functions per device on a single lcd page without having to page through to get to all the commands.
4 stars is too low a rating, given the outstanding core functionality of the remote itself.
i'm glad we were able to get rid of all those other remotes and incorporate all those functions into this little baby.i'm happy with it after the difficulties of programming it.
but when i go through all the function buttons on my tv remote to get the mx-850 to learn it, nothing works???
we now control all the functions we need in one remote.
be prepared to spend time programming the special functions, like turning the tv power off when you are using the remote on the vcr function, as an example...but everything does work on it, even the
probably ok but would not fully learn the volume control function for an olevia tv.
its awesome and since it only lights up the touch screen keys that pertain to the function i pressed i don't have to worry about pressing the wrong thing.
the macro keys allow you to let younger family members switch functions on complicated home theatre setups with a single button.
after that, buttons will function normally.
it's functionally perfect but not pretty.
i looked into getting more expensive usb remotes with multimedia features, but concluded that the combination of this simple device with special software (to increase its functions) was the most
so i dont recommend this product as i'm truly upset with its performance.
overall an excellent product for its advertised function.
works great with vista's media center software, with less functionality on windows media player.
additional thoughtsproduct of this type should complement the pc, this does with it function but not the design.
prosvery functional unit, looks like it has all the buttons you need for powerpoint and most dvd playing applications.
anyways i had high hopes for this device, besides functionality i really like it, but without functionality what did purchase?
