scottegos2 from TX Member Since: Jun 2002 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 2 Days	Adequate remote lacking features Strengths: easy to read good buttons cheap Weaknesses: macros not good learning is cumbersome so-so database Summary: the remote didn't have my Element TV (turns out by googling I found that Proview works ok). Also, the macro function ONLY works by learning the steps from the original remote and saving them -- and then, for me, it didn't even work. Learning a keystroke is quite cumbersome. Basically, if you happen to have a setup where it knows your devices and if you don't need macros, this is an OK remote. Otherwise, just about any other learning remote would be better (URC-8910 for example, in this price range). Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate.

Bforprez Member Since: Jun 2005 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 2 Months	Great Remote...For the Price Strengths: Truly Muti-Function, Learn Function, Buttons for Controlling DVR's, Bright LCD, Programmable macro's Weaknesses: Large, Not Upgradeable, Awkward to use the buttons at the bottom because unit is so large Summary: Overall its a handy thing to have. Seen friends spend a lot more on universal remotes and they are not only harder to use but seems as though they don't do as much. I like the macros because with the push of one button it changes the tv's video output as well as the audios and turns on the 360. I also like the sleep function where you tell it how long to wait and then it shuts down the devices you choose. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate.

yaggi69 Member Since: Dec 2007 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 1 Day	Philips Prestigo 10 Device Universal Remote Control Strengths: Great learning remote for under $100 It comes pre-programmed with tons of devices, it can also learn individual commands from other remotes. One of the easy remotes to setup that I have ever owned. Weaknesses: None Summary: The capabilities are pretty much endless and initial set up is very fast. First of all, when you turn the remote on for the first time, it asks you what type of device do you want to set up, for example, TV. Then it asks you what brand. The top 8-10 TV brands pop up on the first page and if your TV is not there, then you can just scroll forward alphabetically until you find your brand. Then you select it. Setup is fast and easy.

sirtronics99 Member Since: May 2008 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 1 Year	Philips sr-u8010 Strengths: customizable, easy to use, color screen Weaknesses: has usb interface with support to use it Summary: This is a nice remote for the money. I own 3! (X-10 Icon is the same remote) I wish someone would use the UBS to write custom stuff and upgrade the codes. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate.
