Logitech Harmony® One

$275.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
it has its down sides but what doesn't any over the top priced priced product doesn't (<$300 imho).
from www.amazon.com
if you have even a moderately complex system (we have 6 devices to control), it will take you considerably longer (i've spent 4-5 hours) to set up than the 30 minutes suggested by logitech.
from www.amazon.com
very easy programming, i had it all done in 30 minutes or less and everything worked and with the help key on the remote if there ever is a problem it will fix it.
from www.amazon.com
with the logitech, i had my new remote up and running in about 30 mins from start to finish and it accomplished the same exact tasks.
from www.amazon.com
one issue that i've seen in the short amount of time that i've owned this remote is that it wants you to keep pointing the remote at your components for 15-30 seconds after everything has turned on

Logitech H550

but, in about 15 - 30 seconds it wakes up and works just fine.
from Fayyaz from Minneapolis, www.circuitcity.com
i planned to buy its orignal remote for 30 then thought why not buy this one also on sale for 99 as i have 3 dvd players , onkyo receiver , dvr and a bluray player.
from www.bestbuy.com
within 30 minutes the remote was up and running.
from DeloraC from St Petersburg, FL, www.circuitcity.com

Logitech Harmony 880 Universal

$130.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
the local high-end stereo store wanted to sell me a $350 universal remote, and charge me $300 to program it.
from www.amazon.com
the harmony maybe took 30 minutes to an hour max to gather the information i needed and program the remote and test it.
from www.amazon.com
it has a wait period for turning on each device (so the electronics can respond to subsequent commands) and the default for my big-screen, rear projection tv is 25-30 seconds.
from www.amazon.com
however, i firmly believe--and i don't say this lightly--that this remote is worth every penny of its price tag (even without the $30 rebate for 360 owners).
from www.amazon.com
i already had replay tv and really liked that it would allow you to skip about 30 seconds with the touch of a button.

Nikon ML-L3

$23.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
the remote works at quite some distance although, i couldn't get it to work at 30 feet as the product description states it should; it did go to about 20-22 feet though.
from www.amazon.com
if it costs $30 it would still be worth it.
from www.amazon.com
also, it works with 'bulb' or longer than 30 seconds in manual mode - first click to open the shutter, second click to close (again, no instructions).
from www.amazon.com
i use it with my d50 and it works to about 30 ft.
from www.amazon.com
i tested the unit and found that it operated at least up to 30 feet.

from www.newegg.com
$30 cheaper than retail stores + $30 rebate, + sell remote that came with xbox $10.
from www.amazon.com
the logitech harmony 890 advanced universal remote control and logitech harmony 1000 advanced universal remote (silver) have rf, but at almost $300 that was more i wanted to spend on a remote.

from www.amazon.com
if you have tivo, you know how the "30 second skip" is not standard, and you have to do the special code inputs etc..

Universal Remote Control URC-300 LCD Touchscreen Remote Control

$100.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.circuitcity.com
i it way better than the $30 that are all in one.
from www.amazon.com
any key on the urc 300 can also be "learned" from another remote so it simply has no limitations.
from www.amazon.com
after being terribly dissappointed with the performance of my sony remote commander av-3000, i took a chance with this one after reading all the reviews submitted by other buyers.
from www.amazon.com
overall, this device is very flexible and i loved the price as other friends of mine have spent $100-300 on devices that provide very similar functionality.
from www.amazon.com
i've read, but cannot verify, that a newer (and so, more expensive) model (the mastercontrol rf-30, i believe) does not have the learning issues of the urc300.

Nikon MC-36

$153.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.onsale.com
the mc-36 provides a smooth delicate trigger function with a feel more like the shutter release on the camera body rather than the mechanical feel of the mc-30.
from www.amazon.com
i have yet to use the new nikon mc-36 10-pin camera remote, but i have used the more simple mc-30 10-pin camera remote, both of which are listed as compatible with the new nikon d200 digital slr (a

Sony RM-VL600

$19.00 Est. at Amazon

from joey from long island, ny, www.circuitcity.com
the learning system is great why spend 150$ on any other remote when you can get this for 30$ to do the same things and much less time to hook up.
from KevKath from Oklahoma City, OK, www.circuitcity.com
i was able to sit down with very little effort and program my complete surroud sound system in 30 minutes.
from Gonzo from Illinois, www.circuitcity.com
for the money this thing is a bargin under $30.00.
from www.amazon.com
i also like the fact that it's under $30 and made from a name brand company.
from www.amazon.com
the sony rm-vl600 remote also worked great with my dish network 301 satellite receiver using the echostar remote code of 3010.

from www.amazon.com
for roughly 30 bones this product is really good.

for this feature it is almost worth the $30 alone.
from www.amazon.com
for $30 i'd say this is a pretty damn good remote if i do say so myself.
from www.amazon.com
- this is the only thing that the controller does not have, but i assume your tv already has a remote, and since you have a controller (i assume you do if you have a 360), why spend 30 bucks to

from www.bestbuy.com
after charging the unit for about 4 hours loaded the software on my laptop, hooked up the usb cable and programmed the remote in about 20 or 30 minutes total.
from www.mwave.com
summary: this is an excellent unit that through pricegrabber, was priced appropriately (well under $300) overcoming the value concerns i read from other buyers.
from www.amazon.com
i swapped out a $300 sony product for this, and i love it!
from www.amazon.com
i still have a hard time realizing that i spent almost $300 on a remote, but it was the cheapest remote i could find that would do what i wanted, which is rf (we have all our devices out of view).
from www.amazon.com
it took me about 30 minutes to undersatnd the programming and then about 3 days to tweek the remote to do what i want.

i have had this remote control for 30 days now and love it.
from www.amazon.com
i highly recommend this remote if you are a dvr user with a lot of system components with the need for an easy to learn, easy to use remote, but be prepared to spend a good 30-45 minutes setting it
from www.amazon.com
it still does require roughly about 30 minutes to setup the remote (unless you customize it as much as i do, taking about 2 hours).
from www.amazon.com
i had it programmed in just over 30 minutes.
from www.amazon.com
only downside is the 30 minutes you'll need to spend programming it on your computer (pc or mac), but by having that computer interface you gain a huge advantage in the huge numbers of components and

i figured out how to set it up in about 5 mins and in about 30 mins had it all ready to go.
from www.amazon.com
i use second or third screens for component specific comands not on keyboard such as 30 second skip or whatever.
from www.amazon.com
there's nothing comparable in the marketplace within $200-300 if you need rf transmission capability.
from www.amazon.com
i can program it using the learning function of the remote but then the vital 30 second skip cannot be programmed.

programming isn't difficult, but it takes a few minutes (20-30) and you'll likely have to fine tune things after a few days of operation.
