Summary: For geeks only, not for the impatient
Review: Those who lack patience or are not willing to spend time deciphing a cryptic manual, stay away. Yes this can be an annoying device to program and use, but those who persevere can save lots of money by buying this unit over it's more expensive competitors. Other reviews detail some of the specific annoyances.

Summary: Fantastic Product
Review: When deciding what type of controller to buy, I first considered the Sony v3000 Remote Commander(I think thats what they call it) that retails for about $200. I thought it looked pretty cool with the LCD touch screen. Thankfully when I went to my local electronics store and they had the unit on display. After looking at it for about 3 minutes I decided it was not for me. I mean MAYBE I'M JUST CRAZY, but when I'm watching TV I don't want to have to look at the controller every time I change the channel. The touch screen is a bad idea. You can't tell what button your hitting by feel. I don't want to make changing the channel a pain. Therefore I decided to get a controller with ACTUAL BUTTONS. This is the one I bought. Anyone who is even slightly intelligent can easily program it. I spent about an hour programing all 10 of my components (8 of which are non sony) and macros. The learning function is fantastic. This thing is the ultimate controller. Much better than its $200 and up counter parts. It is easy to use and all of the negatives that these other reviewers are whining about are either non-existant, or not a big deal.
