So easy, so awesome!

I am amazed at how wonderful this inexpensive, yet sleek-looking and easy-to-use remote is. It took me about 2 minutes to program my tv, Blu-Ray player, and Cable/DVR. I originally bought just to use on my Blu-Ray, but it's so cool that I thought I...

TiVo capitable.... truly replaces ALL remotes

It is programable and that is an BIG feature the other "cheap" remotes don't have. We use it for TiVo, DVD, VCR, TV, and Sound System (even with its crazy number of "input" settings). You can set the volume/mute control to always use one device such...

GE Learning Remote - Great Product - Works Well

Previous got a remote thinking it was learning and it wasn't - had it replaced with this one and it works great - I programmed my devices via the learning key - original remote controls for each of the original remote keys. Good to be using one remote...

GE has redeemed itself

I was angry about my experience with the GE backlit universal remote model, but the learning feature on this remote really works and it is really inexpensive. I'd give it 5 stars if it more easily allowed for the cable box/dvr idiosyncrasies (ie: a, b,...

Best little Universal Remotes ever!

Ok, to start I was looking at remotes in the $50 dollars each range, figuring you pretty much had to pay at least that to get something decent. Boy was I wrong, these less than $15 remotes do the job perfectly! I saw 3 reviews on Amazon that were...

easy and inexpensive

It does what it says it will do. I was using 3 remotes to watch TV, DirecTV and digital converter box. The DTV was learned in AUX and now I have one small remote. This learning remote even has a "guide" button to tell me what is on the TV without...
