 Great Product, Unbeatable Price September 10, 2008

I currently have this remote controlling my samsung LCD HDTV, Onkyo TX-SR506 AV receiver, Xbox 360 elite with HD DVD player, and an HD DVR cable box. Set up was simple with the PC interface. You simply install software, plug in usb to controller, and off you go. The set up is almost dummy proof. It does not assume you know anything. Haven't linked my PS3 to it yet because of the bluetooth. Need to buy the accessory. If you are looking for a well functioning, easy to set up, bang for your buck controller than this is it. The only thing that I wish it had was a little bigger screen with touch screen and not the side buttons. That is just a personal preference though that has nor would have any affect on the functionality of the controller. GREAT PRODUCT! UNBELIEVABLE PRICE!
Just what I've been looking for September 9, 2008

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1OEOD6VX51Z80 Simply the best universal remote on the market, especially for the price. This is the first universal remote that acts as a true replacement for other remotes.
 If you have older components you may be in for disappointment September 7, 2008
This could have been a great gadget except it didn't recognize my 5 year old Sony A/V receiver. Even in "learning mode" this new dog couldn't learn old tricks.
Perfect! September 6, 2008
Got this on sale for 50$ at amazon. Wow, took me 30 minutes from out of the box, installing the PC software, to having all my remotes programmed. It even programed my obscure remotes for signal switches and the new Digital TV converters! I went from 8 remotes to one.
Note: This replaced a 8 in one learning remote. That remote took me 2 hours to program.
Cons: As noted, you must make your selection with the remote pointed at the screen for about 2 seconds as the remote turns each device on one by one.
 Good hardware, crap software September 4, 2008
Its a very nice remote, esp for $50 shipped. Like other have said about harmony remote software which is one unifided program; it sucks. Have to have an internet connection to program your remote? Crappy web interface, slow, clunky, no real customization. In my case an older tv which is in the database doesnt work that well. Power button on remote doesnt work, there is a power toggle in the lcd scroll area, not very convienent. I also read somewhere else the remote is haunted, the backlight will come on sometimes when I walk in kinda cool. All in all I like it, but the software for programming and lack of fully being able to program it sucks.
