All in one remote

on March 24, 2010

Posted by: HWAsian

It does almost everything I wanted it to do. The remote will not turn on the Wii but that's fine because the Wii remote can turn it on and I need to use it to play games anyway.

With exception to the Wii it turns everything on. I have a Samsun LED tv, TiVo, Yamaha receiver, LG Blue-ray player, DirectTV receiver.

The only frustrating part was setting up the TiVo and DirectTV remote. The setup asks me to point the remotes at each other and press certain keys. It took several tries to get that worked out. I had to move the remote around until it got the signal. The set up took me about 1.5 hrs to finish. Half an hour was to look for the model number on all my devices and load the software.

I do like the remote once everything is set up. The device comes with Sanyo rechargeable batteries and you can buy additional batteries and chargers at Costco. I have not had to charge it but it's only been a month. The one button watch mode is awesome. It turns on the devices that needs to turn on and selects the right input/output. My small complaint is that the functions on the button does not work while it's configuring your home theater system. You have to wait for it to finish. Normally not a problem unless the volume was turned up high when it was on last. You have to wait for the remote to finish before the functions on the buttons will work. I wish there was a way to reduce that configuration time. It's about 3-5 seconds too long.

Custom hot key buttons are a plus. Instead of finding the function on the color screen I just program the hot key button on the functions I use the most.

Well worth the money and hassle if you have someone that is not tech savvy or don't like to sit with 4 remotes in your lap. Once it's set up even a caveman can operate it. Will probably buy one for my in law next Christmas.

What's great about it: Finds all my devices, extra hot key buttons

What's not so great: does not support Wii, long wait time when switching to different modes

I would recommend this to a friend!

Ease of Use

Durability
