URC RFS200 PowerPak Bundle w/ MasterControl RF20 and PowerBlaster

Works as Advertised. Not as cool looking as the logitech version and the green screen/gray text along with the red back light seems so 1980s but damn for $75 as compared to $250ish for the logitech I'm able to hide my components. Very Sturdy. Takes a little getting used to understand what buttons control what functions but after having it for a few weeks I've gotten the hang of it.

Logitech 915-000148 Harmony 200 universal remote

This is my third harmony. I bought it as a cheap replacement for a work tv, because the other universal remote I bought from amazon was completely useless and I could not even program my TV for scanning channels etc. (RCA universal).

Sony RMVZ320 universal remote Control

01.10.20112 - Unlike the Logitech Harmony 300 [I returned two because of software bugs], the software and drivers on the Sony RMVZ320 are preloaded so there's no need for computer hookup like the Harmony 300. All one has to do is enter the mfg code from the accompanying sheet in 3 easy steps; press Set until red LED comes on, hold Set and press the device button together, release the buttons and enter the code on the numeric touchpad, red LED blinks 3 times that the code took. To test press the device button and then power. That's as easy as buttering toast. My only bug is the printed code numbers are very tiny to read [my eyes are 20/20] requiring a handheld magnifying glass.

L5 Universal Remote Control for iPhone, iPad & iPod Touch

Just received it today. Was thinking about the Harmony 1100 which is expensive and apparently not well supported on Mac and am so glad I didn't waste money on that pricey unit. This device works exactly as promised. All of my remotes functions were easily transferred and the customizability this invention allows is ideal. You can lay out your remote(s) however you want and program only the functions from your factory remotes that you really use or want, which is actually better than the original remote in my mind. The drawer and pop up features are brilliant and let you hide functions you don't use as often (yet easily access them) and keep your customized remote layout clean and streamlined if you want.

Universal Remote Control A6 6 Device Learning Remote

I bought this for my technophobic elderly mother. She enjoys her DVDs and TV shows, but she's very intimidated by even basic technology. Among other problems, she always gets her remotes mixed up and ends up calling me for assistance. So, I guess you could say this remote was a present for both of us! Ha ha.

Sony RMVLZ620 universal remote

Works great for me. Got it to work with all my entertainment center components (Onkyo, Sony TV, BD player)

I programmed a few macros so the rest of the family has easy one touch functions based on watching TV with sound, BD with sound, etc.

RCA 4-Device universal remote

This remote works great and the price is very affordable. I recommend this product to everyone. I love it. I use it to operate all of my electronics. Wouldn't buy any other brand.
