 Great remote, easy to use, a little fragile November 27, 2007
Luisa R. De Gutierrez (venezuela)
This is a must have if you have many brands of equipment in your home theather. I have three kids ages 8 and down and they know exactly which button to press to play video games, to watch a DVD or to watch tv. Takes some time to set up but is very friendly. The only con is that it is too fragile, I have bought four units in the past 2 years since the buttons got stuck on three of them and one got the screen broken. Overall, I don't mind buying one every six months since it does everything I need it to.
 Don't buy this loser February 11, 2007

For $99 this should be a much better remote. If you watch movies in the dark, you have to use the glow button, guess what, you will have to replace the batteries once a month at least. Also, Logitech has over simplifed the remote. You can't program individual buttons you have to use their program that only allows you to program devices and not the remote directly. If you have to go into the device menu a lot you will not be able to control the volume unless you switch to the device that controls volume. Why not have an option to program each button period... But the remote is useless now because of the low battery life. Do not buy this unless you want to buy batteries every month. Ridiculous. Only remote I have ever had like this.
 It is very hard to update the remote due to software glitches. January 21, 2007
Jayachandra G. Nair (USA)
It is very hard to update the remote. Very seldom we can delete and if there are two DVR boxes remote get confused and keep on turning off and on, even though we choose the right one such as A or B.Software update is cumbersome and take 45 minutes on a Intel Quad computer with 2 G memory. Can supply some patches. I have the remote sitting on my coffee table useless.

This is the first remote that I've found that operates all my audio and video components. It's reasonably priced and easy to set up. The only improvement I'd recommend is an increase in the font sizes used to identify the commands.
One fantastic remote! January 4, 2007
J. Andrew Bishop
This is a very easy universal to program, just hook it up to your computer. Enter the product name and model number, answer a few questions on a very user friendly screen and you're done. The best thing is that it works with TiVO, it even has the up and down thumb buttons. All in all this remote has given me no problems and has been a dream for the past 6 months. Would strongly recommend, especially for the price!!!
