Recommended it? Yes

After buying a new flatscreen TV then hooking up our game console, DVD player, VCR, and stereo system, we had 5 remote controls to deal with. Even our modest setup required remembering how our devices are interconnected then using 2 or 3 remote controls just to be able to watch TV.

I'll preview this review by saying:
Remote - 4 stars
Method of programming remote - zero stars

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