DecadentBeaver Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Are you a PR for Logitech? Haha. Only kidding. Looks pretty damn sweet. I just use my xbox controller and tv remote. Nothing fancy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

runswithscissors Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 That looks complicated, I just use the ones that come with TV/DVR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worhammer Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I use my tivo remote. It does everything as well. The harmony is nice, but no way I'm paying $100 for a TV remote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrtrptnt Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 The harmony is nice, but no way I'm paying $100 for a TV remote. The 650 is only about $50 nowadays, I've been using a Harmony 880 for about 4 or 5 years now and it's been pretty great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChickinOnaChain Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Cool! But as long as I have my dish and my TV remotes, I'm good. It's when I use my DVD player with my surround sound, is when I have to drag out those two remotes too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillTIPPIN187 Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Would be nice.. If i actually had satellite and Surround sound in my house xD Just a Xbox and Netflix for me.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HugTheBear Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 That thing looks complicated. I guess I'm old school- I use a different remote for my tv, cable and bluray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonsGoMOO Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 All new things look complicated to use. I have Comcast remote, and my tv remote. I use both everyday. Don't have money to spend. Looks really nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonpwnr99 Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 I have one of those Actually my dad uses it, I rarely get to control the remote I works very well, but gets confusing when you use the regular TV, sounds sytem, etc. remote to turn things on. It ca't really tell when they are on or not. always thought it turned on by movement, not heat/pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hydrosugar Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Yeah I only need to control my TV and 360, so a universal remote has always seemed unnecessarily complicated for me. I can see why some people would have one though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EchoPark Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Cool remote and all but can it do what my remote does, change discs? Fetch a coke out the fridge? Or even answer ur door? Nooo well get ur self a kid! Ofc it will take ya 3 years maybe 2 and a bit years to train but once that done ur sorted. I keep mine feed on the wishes that he gets to keep his bike and time on minecraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Repo Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 I've got an 885 although it's on it's last legs after being attacked by a toddler too many times. I upgraded from a 610 which I've kept as a spare. I'd definitely get another; if you have a lot of AV kit they are a god send. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkReign2021 Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 I think remotes these days are too complicated. All I need is TV power, volume, and a switch between my various channel settings for the different consoles and devices. Nothing else on my remote is used.

Repo Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 I think remotes these days are too complicated. Yup, they definitely suffer from feature overload! wow! thats sweet. i'd love it but i bet its a pain in the arse to set up with everything especially the xbox The software is actually pretty good, though not perfect. You download a profile for each piece of kit & if you like you can customise it too. You can even learn from an existing remote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
