Disappointed with this remote. [Posted on 2005-11-02]
I just received one of these remotes tonight. I was surprised at how large it is
but that doesn't bother me. I have trouble with small buttons anyway, and the
size of it makes it less likely to misplace. I've programmed it so far to control
my tv, and so far so good. The thing I'm not happy with is the LCD display. It
is flaky. Part of the display is faded out. For example, the display will show
the time, but one of the numbers may just show a dot. Also, the display is
supposed to shut off automatically after about 10 seconds. One time it
wouldn't shut off untill I removed and put the batteries back.
I want to add that I received this remote as a premium from points
I accumulated by using a credit card, so I am not blaming Amazon
for this. I am going to contact the credit card company and
get a replacement. I'll post an update after I receive it.
"Learning" is hard [Posted on 2007-02-10] The remote is big, but if it really could control all my devices it would be fine. But trying to get this thing to learn some commands from other remotes is frustrating. Some of them work fine, but others you'll spend 10 minutes on and still get nowhere.
I should have gone with a better model.
