One For All XSIGHT Touch URC 8603

With a 2.2" touchscreen, the Xsight is one of the fanciest remotes money can buy

Compatible with practically everything; Flexible programming and functions

Needs internet connection for some functions; Expensive compared with some universal remotes

The Xsight is a flexible device that does what it promises with little fuss. But we feel it's a bit expensive for a universal remote, and a little under-powered to call itself a system controller

Xsight Touch Remote Control : Xsight Touch Remote Control URC8603

For some years there has been a growing market for replacementremote controls for audio-visual products - usually cramming the functions of many separate devices into one easy to use replacement. The Xsight Touch Remote Controlfrom "One-for-All" is the...

Next came my Virgin Media box - again Virgin was in the list of set-top boxes. Despite there being potentially 14 tests, my very new Virgin box was correctly chosen the first time

Not very good at all

Pretty poor all round really. It feels cheap (but is actually rather expensive) and it doesn't seem to work too well either. I won't control my Bose Lifestyle (or my PS3). I can forgive it the PS3 since that's a Bluetooth controller but the Touch...

Poor Value And Poor Features

I have tried several universal remotes over the years and for the price this one must be the worse of the lot. Most of these type of remotes now have a motion sensor (as early one-for-alls did) but with this one when you pick it up the touch screen...

High price but mediocre quality and some software issues

With a TV, DVD player, Blu-ray player, Surround sound system and a HDD recorder I had a lot of home entertainment equipment and a big array of remotes! So I've been looking for a universal remote for a while. This one was released a few months ago...

Best Universal Remote EVER!!!

Bought one of these to replace the need of several remotes and it works like a dream unlike others I have had in the past. The setup was so easy, no need for a manual, just go through the wizard on the touch screen. It is very user friendly - even my...
