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...

Wii Remote Controller

Advantages: Innovation, Responsiveness
Disadvantages: Price, Ease Of Use

...I purchased the Nintendo Wii after weeks of searching the internet for a shop that hadnt sold out and once i found one available i bought it immediately. The package came with Wii sports and a remote controller and i have to say that i was quite impressed. The controllers work well with the console and in particular with wii sports. The biggest issue that i have with the remote is the battery issue. Whilst the batteries do last a long time when installed, to keep replacing them costs a fortune. I also have had this problem with my xbox 360 wireless controllers and would recommend anybody who was buying the controllers to also consider a quick charge kit to accompany it. The unit is very responsive and works very well, this depends on where you put the sensor that is supplied with the wii so make sure that you read the manual carefully...

Review of NINTENDO Wii Remote - game pad

Replaces most remotes most of the time

Advantages: One remote on your lap at night
Disadvantages: Still need original remote controls for advanced features

...Appearance Nice looking remote & the light up panels look great. The offset 'wave' shape makes the remote lean to one side when placed on a flat surface, but this does help when picking it up! As each device is selected, the buttons change to reflect features available with that device. Looks & feels good quality. Features Manages most functions on most devices - but isn't perfect. I haven't managed to get it to control my Virgin cable box, and though I cna control the basic functions on my LG hard disc/DVD recorder, I do need to resort to the original remote at times. I have a modern Samsung LCD TV, and this is controlled quite well. One other learning remote I have struggles with the Samsung volume (it only increments one step with each button click), but the one-4-all manges this control fine. I also have the device managing...

Review of One For All URC8308 Kameleon Remote Control

The Kameleon Remote My Favourite Pet

Advantages: Looks, Upgradable, functionality
Disadvantages: cost, battery life

...of having to pick your way through rows of buttons that are unrelated to the device. So how does the remote take control of my devices? Direct Codes The Kameleon comes with an impressive array of built in codes, it managed to control my Bush TV and Freeview straight out of the box. I wasn’t expecting it to control my DVD or Surround Sound system as they were fairly obscure brands. You switch the device off programme in the code and press the on button and if it switches on your device it means it has worked. Updated codes I called the helpline (0808 number) and they were extremely helpful. The makers of the Kameleon remote “One for All” have excellent customer service, they pretty much guarantee they can get you a code for any remote. You can update online or via the phone through the modem which is built...

Review of One For All 6 Kameleon Remote Control (URC-8060)

I am in complete control

Advantages: Tough, Easy to use, Not overly Priced (if you ever need a new one)
Disadvantages: Mine has tooth marks on

...As Sky Plus has began to be a key part of my life I'm now starting to adore the control just as much as the overall service. Coming in a primarily gray colour with a black back and trim (including most of the buttons), the device is well laid out and simple to navigate. At the top are the On/Off button, the Sky Button and the TV button (allowing you to control the TV with the remote instead of needing both a TV remote and a Sky remote lying about the place). Below that are the direct menu buttons to the TV guide, Box Office, Services and Interactive, of these the TV guide button will be the one that gets the vast work out, with Box Office getting the occasional use just prior to major boxing contests for myself. Below that is the navigation buttons and the control/program up downs and select button. They include the mute button...

Review of Sky Plus 111 Remote Control

Sixaxis controller

Advantages: Motion control, blutooth
Disadvantages: Feels light

...I have owned a playstation 3 for a number of years now with a sixaxis controller. The controller is extreamly suffisticated as well as all of the normal buttons which are used for conventional gameplay it also contains a gyroscope which monitors its position and movements in six axis, clever hey. The sxiaxis motion control offers a new way to play games and makes things more interesting and more challenging. For example when playing a racing game with a friend and we get a little bored we may play a game where we just use the motion control which makes it alot more challenging and adds alot of amusement. Some of the best games I have found to use with the sixaxis include Super Rub a Dub very entertaining no matter who you are. As time goes on the use of the motion control wil get better and better and will include better refinement...

Review of Sony Official PS3 SIXAXIS Wireless Controller

Remote Control

Advantages: Another all action thriller
Disadvantages: None

...running from. The tactics he employs to help him in his quest are once again described so accurately that you just know that Andy McNab is writing from experiences he gained in his time with the SAS. The suspense in the book is in some chapters absolutely amazing with the reader not knowing which way it is going to go and it is literally impossible to put the book down. However, at the “end” of the chase you finally think that it is all over and everyone is going to live happily ever after when the story takes another dramatic turn and shoots off once again to keep you hanging on to the last page. All in all an excellent read full of action, suspense and drama. There’s even a little bit of comedy thrown in here and there for good measure. My only regret is that I read Crisis 4 before Remote Control as it spoilt...

Review of Remote Control - Andy McNab

Control, Total Control

Advantages: Very Easy to use, Excellent customer care
Disadvantages: Very Expensive, not compatable with everything

...I was given a One for All remote control at a trade fair, these are devices which allow you to control all your home entertainment systems through one remote! This particular version the ?TopLine 5? has a large LCD display so that you can set it up easily and see which device you?re about to start manipulating! It was relatively easy to set up with a straight forward manual. One for All have taken care of the future also ? if you need a new set of codes for it, they have a new telephone transfer system where you can phone a number ? place the remote near the phone and away it goes!! A wonderful toy ? though a bit pricey ? I?m glad mine was free!...

Review of Shuttle PN31 Infrared Remote control for PC multimedia

MY KAMELEON

Advantages: Keeps things in order.
Disadvantages: initial expense.

...Truth be told, I have a new pet in the house, and it is not of the furry variety. It's called a Kameleon, and as I parted with the money at our local electrical wholesalers, I wondered if in fact I had made an error of judgement that I would later regret. The Kameleon comes packed in an impressive box, supplied with its own four batteries, and an instruction book that looks to me like rocket science, that I shall tell you about later. Why a Kameleon ? The logic was simple. Surely in this day and age there must be someone who had produced a remote control that covered all the many electrical items that I had in my living room. It irritated me that we either lost remote controls down the back of the sofa, or batteries ran out, or in the worst case scenario, could not locate the remote when we needed it. Having recently bought...
