Pros Well made, nice button layout, versatile IF you have other remotes for teaching
Cons No display, can't handle gaming boxes (not tested), can only learn from existing...
Recommended it? Yes

Choosing a remote for a collection of audio, video, and gaming devices is not an easy matter. You not only have to consider what types and brands you want it to control. You have to think of how much effort you will need to devote to programming it, and how much help it will give to the people... Read full review »

Pros price, range, strength.
Cons set up, layout, quality, effectiveness.
Recommended it? No

It is unfair to fault this remote at the price that it sells for, but luckily that's what I am here for! I've been trying to replace my failing URC R5 for a while now and it looks like the search goes on.

That can get out of hand very quickly when shuffling between them is a hassle and worse yet, the one needed is suddenly missing. It may not qualify as essential, but the Harmony 550 struck my sweet spot in a near... Read full review »

"Stupid universal remotes. They'll never understand me", I'd grumble disdainfully as I ripped open a new 20-pack of AA batteries. "They just don't get it. MY setup is different!"

That's true. My home theater setup is different, in the same way as everyone else's in 2006. We have DVD, PVR,... Read full review »
