The Top Remote Controls for Battery Life

TiVo C00210

$53.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
after unboxing the "premium glo" remote and finding 4 aaa batteries to throw in it, i had my tv's power and input as well as my receiver's power and volume programmed in literally under a minute.
from www.amazon.com
the tivoglo is a much more powerful remote.
from www.amazon.com
once i learned this [...], i was able to program the glo remote's power button to power-on both my sharp lcd, and the onkyo with a single press.
from www.amazon.com
my one nitpick is that the tv input button is close the power button.
from www.amazon.com
not such a big deal in and of itself, but battery life seems considerably shorter.

from www.amazon.com
keep in mind that the system is battery operated, and unlike the logitech harmony one advanced universal remote i just received, the intermatic does not have an external power adapter, nor is there
from www.amazon.com
another great feature is that this unit does not forget the programming when you change the batteries or if the power goes out.
from www.amazon.com
when i first got the intermatic home settings wireless kit, i was concerned that the modules would still communicate with the master controller after a power outage.
from www.amazon.com
- if the power goes out, will the lamps stay off or will they turn back on if they were on when the power went out?

from "Randy", www.bhphotovideo.com
the lcd uses such little power that it can run for years without having to turn it off.
from "REnsor", www.adorama.com
handy bit of kit, but a bit bulky for what it is, cable needs to be longer for what i use it for and the buttons seem weak, but works well and does what it says it will.
from www.amazon.com
battery life seems reasonable.
from www.amazon.com
the manual says battery life in this unit hovers around three months.
from "Ben", www.bhphotovideo.com
nikon should have added a 'switch' to this amazing gadget (to conserve battery power while it's not in use) to make this into a 'fantabulous' product.

this is the second "universal" remote i've tried to reduce the clutter of remotes (and the power struggle over component control) that comes with even a modest a/v or home theater environment.
from www.amazon.com
one complaint about device compatibility -- the remote includes commands to power down a tivo (or "standby", in tivo parlance), but does not invoke them as part of its normal "off" routine.
from www.amazon.com
my only gripe would be that the remote is not rechargeable, but battery life is good.
