A couple things you should know

First off, I LOVE this remote, don't get me wrong. But instead of repeating all the awesome features and reviews already plastered all over this page, I'd just like to point out a couple things you might want to know before buying this remote:

1) There is a (very short) delay between pressing a key and sending the IR signal. For most uses this is a non-issue, but for TiVo it's quite annoying. In short, it causes you to always be late resuming playing from fast-forwarding, even with the TiVo's built in skip-back feature. While some of this remote's delays/timings can be modified (like the time between macro commands), this is flaw and cannot be fixed.

2)If you don't have an xbox360, there *IS* a reason to get this over the 550: There are MORE buttons. X, Y, A, and B. I use Y and B for the coveted "List" and "Live TV" buttons, which are printed right next to the keys.

best yet for sub $200

The abillity to program any button to preform any action is very useful.Worked every item in the house.Liked that I was able to set it up to work all four tv's in the room as well as the pc and the speaker system for the pc.Set it up for 12 differnt systems and didnt notice any limit to the number ,though there may be one. Nicely ballanced and has a nice "fill".Nice rubber coating on back,very thin but rather small buttons,but looks very nice. Screen is clear and briteness is ajustable,as is the time you want the light on.Also able to "teach" it with the old remote.Cant find a button with the online software?Then just point it at the IR reciever on the remote and push the button you want the new remote to learn.Very neat!

Pros: thin,unlimited number of sytems, nice fill,works even some of the oddests names brand(helios,presidian), 360 ready out of the box, fair price for how well it works,If you put in the time,it will work every button on every remote(lot of work though),the ability to  more
