Universal Remotes

Postby MARV » Wed Oct 14, 2009 2:49 am

Does anyone own a good universal remote for their entertainment system? I bought the Kameleon years ago and while it does do a good job, the motion sensitive backlighting drives me berserk sometimes. It's ULTRA sensitive and is on almost all the time which is why it eats through batteries like crazy. Besides, I want something with one of those neat little LCD screens now.

I don't use a universal remote (even ones that come with the TV that you can program for basic DVD functions), but those Logitech ones seem pretty cool (it's the ones where you can download command sets from the internet to program the remote).

One feature that I think would be cool, but doesn't seem to be very common, would be a timer on the remote. That way, you can control a tv tuner box + dvd recorder without having to worry about IR Blaster support. (I have no use for PVRs, since you can't archive the recordings.)
