Summary: Great Gift for TV Lover
Review: I recieved this as a gift from my wife for x-mas. I'm the gadget guy and she's always teasing me about it. Anyway, I set up the remote and got it working pretty quickly. The menu system is very easy to understand. There are some features missing but all and all, this is a great remote if you watch a lot of TV. The guide is much better than the one on my direct tv system. Only problem is that now my wife won't give it back. She's taken over the remote. Small price to pay for peace on the sofa.

Summary: Best Gift Ever!
Review: I'll admit I wasn't too excited when my wife bought another remote, but this one is awesome. The setup was easy, much less complicated than my touchscreen unit(which is now in a drawer)and having the TV guide info on the remote screen just makes sense. Good product.

Summary: Great Device
Review: This is the best electronic device I have purchased recently. It does what the website claims, and is easy to use. The web connection and ability to download your own channel selections is fantastic. Having the quide on the remote is great, I no longer have to interupt my viewing in order to see whats on.

Summary: BEWARE OF THIS REMOTE!
Review: THIS REMOTE HAS POSSIBILITES, BUT IT IS FAR FROM USEFUL. THE COMPANY WHO MAKES IT SAYS THEY PROVIDE SUPPORT, BUT THEY DO NOT. I REPEAT THEY DO NOT. THE LAST TIME THEIR WEBSITE WAS UPDATED WAS EARLY LAST YEAR. THEIR WEBSITE AND ITS GUIDE CRASH FREQUENTLY. THEY DO NOT RESPOND TO EMAILS. WE BOUGHT OURS NEW AND IT HAS SOFTWARE PROBLEMS THAT THEY WILL NOT CORRECT. ALSO, THERE ARE NO BUTTONS FOR VCR AND DVD FUNCTIONS. YOU HAVE TO WADE VERY DEEP INTO MULTIPLE MENUS AND USE THE ON SCREEN DISPLAY TO PRESS PLAY AND FAST FWD ETC. ON YOUR DEVICES. ITS VERY DIFFICULT TO USE IN THAT MANNER. ALSO THE WAY TO UPDATE THE REMOTE IS WITH A SERIAL CABLE, SERIAL CABLES NEED SERIALS PORTS. SERIAL PORTS ARE SO OLD THAT A LOT OF PC'S DONT EVEN HAVE THEM ANYMORE. THIS COMPANY IS STILL SELLING REMOTES BUT NOT PROVIDING ANY UPDATES OR SUPPORT, BUYER BEWARE.
