Summary: Weak Remote
Review: Complete waste of time. I have fought with it for hours and not very user friendly at all. The learning function is basically worthless.

Summary: There are much better remotes on the market.
Review: I am on my second RCA 1000B remote and both had problems. The first one got messed up when I tried to change the button labels on the LCD touch screen and the wrong buttons were popping up when I pressed my VCR button. I removed the batteries and reset the unit only to still find similar problems. I returned it for an identical unit thinking that it was simply a malfunction. The second one I brought home, the entire right hand side of the LCD display did NOT accept any input. Any button located on that side of the screen just did not work. That's two for two for RCA and that does it. I'm returning it first thing in the morning and purchasing the Sony AV3000 - hopefully I'll have better luck with that.

Summary: Looks Great but is not good
Review: I bought this remote about a year ago and immediatly was having problems. First of all the batteries that came with it were dead. After replacing it with fresh batteries the remote had a hard time learning the different functions of other remotes. I kept getting error messages for my TV, DVD, and reciever. After about 3 hours of programing the remote, It would forget the commands just as fast. Even reprograming and replacing the batteries didn't help. Since the remote was still under warranty I decided to return it to the manufacturer(Thompson Multimedia). Boy was this a bad idea. During the past year I have made over 50 phone calls to customer service and they sent me back two wrong remotes (cheapest ones too) So about a month ago Thompson Multimedia finally sent me a RCU1000B. I immediately went to the store where i bought it and begged them to let me exchange it for the Sony RM-AV3000. The sony remote is twice as [much] but definately worth it. It is awesome and it works great. If you want to buy a piece of junk, buy the RCA 1000B. If you want the best universal remote that works, get the Sony.

Summary: Weak Remote
Review: I bought this remote just over a year ago. At first it was great! I got it set up and it worked well with everything. Just the other day however, way past the warranty dates, the thing went haywire. Everything lit up and then it froze. I couldn't do anything with it. I looked for trouble-shooting tips in the manual...There's nothing. I called RCA and their technicians don't know anything about the remote. They just told me to take the batteries out for a couple of minutes, push any button for at least one minute, put the batteries back in, and then try to reset it. Nope...It's a no-go!!!! 1 star is really pushing it for this item. I only gave it that much because I had to to write this review!

Summary: Misses the mark
Review: I got this remote about a year ago and have been disappointed in it in the long run. At first it looks great: Holds a bunch of devices, each key programmable, backlit, etc. But there are some fundamental problems with this remote.Intermittent: Many times when I press a key, the remote beeps, but nothing ever happens to the device. I know my batteries are fresh and I'm close enough. Other times I'll hit a button, think it didn't register, hit it again, and it will suddenly send the signal twice to the device, very annoying. Memory loss: I've have to reprogram this about 3 times since I've gotten it. Sometimes it will just completely forget the codes, other times it will only forget the learning. Lockup: I've had the device lock up while learning more than once. The only cure was to remove the batteries for a couple of seconds. Then when this happens, it will occasionally suddenly display ALL of the buttons instead of only the ones I wanted programmed. I say look elsewhere when purchasing a learning remote.

Review: I got this remote as a gift. After spending about 5 hours to program it, it locked up and I had to remove the batteries and reset it. I finally got it porgrammed but it eats batteries about every 3 days. It also forgets the learned functions constanstly. I gave it 2 weeks and I am sick of it! It is being returned. Too bad I like the LCd screen remotes and there button flexability.
