"Awful. Not ready for Prime Time."
1.0 starson by eisenbriPros: Nice looking
Cons: Doesn't come close to delivering universal remote functions
Summary: Bought this hoping to get rid of 8 remotes tied to my system (Marantz surround receiver, Marantz CD Jukebox, Toshiba TV, XM Sat Radio, Insignia DVD/VCR Recorder, Digital Cable/DVR box) and finally have ease of control. The item is very slick looking but physical design is the only plus. It is very rigid in setting up activities, not easy to edit these and impossible to add additional steps. I even worked with their tech support whose best suggestion was to return the unit "it must be broken." I do not think the unit was broken, I just think it doesnt offer much functionality and for its price it should. Contrastingly, I returned this and bought the Logitech 880 which is absolutley incredible and easy to use. It does everything I could think of wanting to do with my home system, very intuititve and easy to change activities and is much less expensive. Support is also awesome for the Logitech. You can read my review on the 880 here at CNET under the same user id.

I bought this remote and did not have any of the problems you seem to have. <br><br>Everything works perfectly. Most of my components were already listed which made the transition even smoother than I had anticipated. <br><br>The Harmony is nice, but the streaming capability on this one makes is far more useful.
