Advantages: Flexibility, looks great, easy to use Disadvantages: Fairly pricy for a remote control
...problem and came across the One For All Kameleon 6 remote control. It seemed the answer to my prayers – and it looked very cool too with its blue illumination!
I have now had the remote for about a year – it has proved to be a real talking point with visitors and has been in use every day, so I feel well placed to write some useful comments about it, so here goes…

Learning from the remote
At first One for All didn’t have the code for the remote of my Surround Sound system (I have it now), so I had to rely on the ability of the remote to learn from an existing remote. I found this function was a bit hit and miss and it took some time to map the functions of my original remote to the Kameleon, but I got there in the end. I have to say that I would not have bought this remote if it didn’t have this ...

MY KAMELEON Review ofOne For All 6 Kameleon Remote Control (URC-8060)by
thingywhatsit
Advantages: Keeps things in order. Disadvantages: initial expense.
...be a practical solution and one that worked. I am pretty technophobic but with sound instruction and a good instruction booklet, can follow what I am told to do.
Unpacking the unit was fun. It was like christmas, atlhough what it was about to show me, I was unprepared for. I had to unscrew the back of the unit to insert the batteries, instead of the normal slide that exists on all my other remotes, placed the batteries into the unit, and closed ...

Waste of money! Review ofOne For All 6 Kameleon Remote Control (URC-8060)by
slshepley
Advantages: Does its job, novelty. Disadvantages: Expensive, battery life, wakes me up!
...i was sick of losing one or more of the many remotes I was accumulating. I knew that the remote carried a hefty price tag, but it seemed worth it at the time (although not something I would have bought myself).
The novelty of this item I would imagine is its main selling point and thats all I can imagine gives some justification for the around £60 that they charge for this thing.
The remote doesn't really do anything special except for lighting ...

Advantages: No more than this remote needed. Disadvantages: Not found any yet!
...times and only just purchased one of these great remotes, but hey I also only paid £18 getting it from ebay and boy is it worth every penny. It got to the point where we had 4 remotes knocking around for our audio/visual equipment.
Was worried to start with that i'd bought a duff, it programmed my TV straight away, but was refusing codes for my Virgin box and Freeview recorder. However, one call to One For All's exceptional customer service centre ...

Advantages: Fantastic and future proof URC Disadvantages: Only holds one downloaded update
...looks better than my old one and is just as compatible with EVERYTHING!!!!
You can make the light come on with the slightest movement but as you might expect this can run the batteries down pretty quick so I personally turned it off, so that a keypress is required to activate the remote light.
Good weight to it also, nice balanced feel and takes 4xAAA bats for operation.
Bit pricey at £69.99 but check the price of the Top of the range Mosaic on ...
