One For All

Advantages: one for all, combing different remotes
Disadvantages: doesn't always transfer everything you want

This stylish yet practical remote is simple and easy to use. Its slick, black, polished layout gives it an undeniable appeal. It is essentially just a remote, however it can offer so many different functions, that it is a must for anyone with a plethora of digital equipment such as; Televisions, VCR's. DVD's, Satellite boxes, and even Amplifiers. From my experience it saves you a lot of hassle in finding all the different remotes for each appliance and is very simplistic to use, and set up, with a set code in the instruction manual for every different imaginable piece of electronic kit, and their retrospective makes. This is what makes the One For All unique as it really is for absolutely everything. The set up is again not anywhere near as hard as what you would think. All you need is the remote itself and then easily work through ...

Review of One for All 5 Digital URC 7556 Infrared Universal remote control for Audio system, Amplifier, Satellite or Cable, TV and VCR, DVD, Digital TV tuner

Universal remote that you need

Advantages: Simple to use, great interface, simple to program
Disadvantages: None

We have DVD player, receiver, two sat boxes (Sky + Free to air European channels), TV. It was not a fun holding 5 remotes trying to find a right button. The remote you would need would always be hidden and missing somewhere. We bought Logitech Harmony 525 2 years ago. I knew it would work for me as I am a gadget man. I was slightly apprehensive about my wife and worried about my in-laws (when they come to visit us). I thought it might be too techie thing for them. It turned out as a very simple to use. I have setup 4 activities - Sat1, Sat2, DVD and CD. You program it on Logitech site using web interface and then sync your remote via USB cable. When you click say SAT1 button all necessary devices would turn on (TV, receiver (I listen TV sound over speakers), SAT box). When you press off button all devices are switched off. You ...

Review of Logitech Harmony 525 Advanced Universal Remote Infrared Universal remote control for DVR, TV, VCR, DVD player, Audio system

Logitech Harmony 525 Advanced Universal Remote

Advantages: Control many devices using Infrared - easy to setup
Disadvantages: Can't control bluetooth or FM devices

The Logitech Harmony 525 Advanced Universal Remote is used to control multiple devices in audio and visual systems (ie your tv, video, digital box, music players etc) Currently we use one to control an AV receiver, digital box and projector. Personally i think this is the best one i've used. Although initially to set up takes a bit of time (you have to load a program onto a computer and then add devices to the remote using the provided usb cable), the time it saves in day to day use and the practicality of one remote makes it a worthwhile task. If there is not a system listed that you want to control it has a neat feature which allow you to add other 'unknown' remote signals - its so easy - you just tell it you're going to add an 'unknown' and then point the 'unknown' systems remote at the logitech remote and it asks ...
