Improved Design, but fixed to only 5 devices.

First of all, I would give this remote 4 and 1/2 stars if I could, but 4 or 5 were my only options.

Quality Remote
By L. Hartness
I have remote controls drifting all over my room. Three discerned ones: TV, VCR and DVD. And in the den, yet another remote for the stereo. I was glad to receive this item for review from the Amazon Vine program, because it was time to consolidate!

Logitech packed everything you need to get going with this remote. The remote, two vacuum-sealed batteries, USB cord & user manual. To get started, here was my experience:

1. Went to the Logitech internetlocation at the URL commended in order to download a simple, free software package to my computer.

2. I plugged into my computer the now battery-filled remote, using the enclosed USB cord.

3. I ran the Logitech software, which took me through the setup routine step by step. Before long I was off and running with my multiple-use remote ready to go. All of my instrumentation was working, even the discerned stereo, which isn’t connected to my TV/VCR/DVD players.

As this isn’t a cheap remote that you’d buy at the grocery store checkout counter, you in truth do need to allot the 45 minutes that the user guide recommends for set up time. I could have taken less time, but I wanted to get as galore gadgets engaged as I could.

A few tips: Make sure you have the Manufacturer & Model # ready for each piece of instrumentation you’re programming into the remote. Also, while I had no problem getting this set up, this remote is not for those who are seriously technology-shy. The software was easy to follow and laid out genuinely well, but I could without apparent effort see my 65 year-old mother having disturb (or at least taking alot of time) to get it programmed. You need to know numerous techie terms– for example, is your VCR hooked up by way of a Line 1 outlet?

And while this is a wondrous product, I felt the $100 price tag (as of March 2010) was a little high. If it could do my dishes and fold my laundry, maybe– but $100 seems a bit much.

Overall I give this product high marks, and I’m looking forward to enjoying the absence of so some remotes in my room!
