    4.0 Stars i was really looking forward to receiving this remote (i've had it with my multiple remotes!) and being a techie i thought it would be a breeze to setup.
  2. from www.amazon.com
    5.0 Stars i understood what a universal remote was, but i just thought this was another one of his techie gadget crap he always buys.
  3. from www.amazon.com
    5.0 Stars she has poo-pooed a lot of my gadget buys over the years and most of the time she is right because at times i am too techie and often do not consider the average user.

  1. from www.amazon.com
    5.0 Stars i thought it seemed a bit difficult to program for a real non-techie but not unreasonably so if you have any familiarity with computers at all.
  2. from www.amazon.com
    5.0 Stars i am somewhat of a techie while my wife is not.
  3. from www.amazon.com
    5.0 Stars i may be a bit more technically inclined than some other reviewers here, but certainly less than some who are fascinated with any kind of new techie toy out there.
  4. from www.amazon.com
    5.0 Stars all in all, this is a fine choice for the 'techie' user who enjoys having a pc link-up for fine-tuning.
Positives: Excellent Programmability, Easy To Use, Nice Functionality, Applicable Devices: TV, DVD Player, Receiver, Lighting

    5.0 Stars i also think it can be a bit confusing at first for the non-techie.
  2. from www.amazon.com
    5.0 Stars it made my non-techie wife's life a lot easier.
  3. from www.amazon.com
    5.0 Stars for the a/v techies you still have complete control of your individual components by pressing the "devices" button on the remote, all your remote functions are inputted as text options on the remote.
  4. from www.amazon.com
    5.0 Stars for all the techies and in my case wife who hated all the remotes this is perfect.
  5. from www.amazon.com
    5.0 Stars loading the correct codes requires a fair amount of techie knowhow.
Positives: Easy To Use, Great Affordability, Comfortable, Applicable Devices: TV, DVD Player, Receiver
