I read up on quite a few of the remotes and settled on this one for the positive reviews and the cost. I bought two of them in fact, one for both of my tv's. I am tired of having 4 remotes. I found out shortly thereafter that this remote won't control my Dish Network 921 receivers because they operate on UHF. This is one of their highest tech receievers as it is a DVR/HD/dual tuner receiver. I wasted more time when I called URC and they told me to call Dish Network and that they could help me make it work. They had no idea what I was talking about and they told me that they don't support 3rd party remotes (can't blame them for that). I didn't like that I was transferred to India and that the person, hearing what I needed thought that I wanted to buy another remote, but that is another story and the state of customer service most of the time these days. The problem that I have with URC is that 1. They sell a remote and their website has no compatibilty chart with common devices.

I own one of these for my home theater have been extremely happy with it. I've tried many other universal remote controls, including a couple of the fancy Logitech Harmony remotes and have returned them all because I found them too cumbersome to use, usually because of awkward button layout. This one, is a model of simplicity and straightforward design. However, I recently bought another one for my parents and have had a few problems with it. First I'll start off with the good parts:
Good:
Button layout - This is the most important issue for me. In a nutshell, I want to be able to use the remote without always looking down at it, and in order to do that you need a good layout. Because I am used to the excellent TiVo remote, and have both a TiVo and cable company DVR, the most important set of buttons for me is the cluster of buttons for play/pause/ff/rew and the all-important replay. These are functions I use constantly and this remote has a superb design for navigating around.

Excellent, solid unit; it was easy to program, even the macros, with logically laid out function keys. The instruction book is reasonably complete, though I found out about one issue with macros that was not described when I called their tech support line. The phone tech support was extremely helpful; they quickly & efficiently resolved the issue I was having. There is no reason to spend a hundred+ $$ for a universal remote when this one will do what the majority need a universal to do: efficiently control up to seven devices.
