 Good product as expected August 12, 2008
All control works for my RCA HD television without any programming - broke original and bought this as replacement
Rca 8-IN-1 Remote Silver March 8, 2008
I ordered this to replace a similar one that quit after a couple of years. Because I liked the one I had I wanted another just like it. The best feature is the ease of "Cloning" other remotes to cut down on the number of needed remotes. This is a simple two step process for each button. I highly recommend this one. It not only does the job, it feels good in the hand as well.
 When it worked, it was great. August 31, 2007
This item shorted out after three months of use. Which is unfortunate, because it's a good remote.
Only one problem and one annoyance. January 2, 2007
I love this remote. I have not had any trouble with the battery compartment and it controls everything I own, which is only 2 VCRs, a TV, and a DVD player. My DVD player is a Symphonic, which is not listed in the models of players this controller supports, but we did an auto code search and it found a code that worked. It took quite a bit of time, but it was definitely worth it for us. The one problem is we have an Orion VCR that it will NOT bring up the Menu for, so we have to keep the old remote handy to set the times, channels, programming, etc. Our other VCR is an Emerson and the remote does the menu for that, the TV, and the DVD player. The annoyance is how you have to set up the VCRs and that our TV is a RCA. There is one "VCR" button on the remote and a couple of "AUX" buttons for anything. The Emerson VCR is on the "AUX1" button and is set-up to work on TV channel 91. The other VCR is on the "VCR" button and on TV channel 3. Whenever we want the Emerson VCR we have to set the TV to channel 91 and turn the remote into something (the chair, our chest, etc.) to select that VCR without the TV automatically turning to channel 3. I don't know if this is just a problem since our TV and the remote are both RCAs, but, since "AUX1" is a VCR, it assumes it is set-up on channel 3. We haven't figured out if there is a way for the remote to unlearn this, but we haven't called their customer service, either. All-in-all, a very worthwhile buy if you have several different things you want to control with 1 remote. I would buy it again knowing the problems we've had as the price was right and it does work to our satisfaction.
Controls Everything I Own November 24, 2006
I've had one of these remotes for about a year now and I'm going to be buying another one soon for another room.
Everything I own is already programmed in, however, the learning ability can make up for any shortcomings. Macros are fantastic for powering everything on and off with the press of a button or two. The keys light up with the press of a button, so in a dark room, I have no problems. This controls my TiVo and my DirecTV DVR (HR20) perfectly. The layout of the buttons are excellent.
An odd thing to say, but true is that this remote fits very comfortably in my hand. Without a doubt, this is the best shape for a remote I've ever used.
Since another review stated a problem with the battery cover, I thought that I would say mine has never accidently popped off. It requires a good push on the plastic lock to remove the cover. No way is this going to just open without any effort.
I have not ran into any memory problems either, so I cannot complain about whatever memory it does have available.
