| | I am very happy with the purchase. Paid for itself the first day I programed it. User guide nt the best for helping getting it programed and running without some playing around with. But love it.

| Excellent Value, Great Product | |
| | The title is really my whole review. This remote is worth every penny. It works as good, if not better that $400+ remotes (which I have owned) and is definitely worth getting over the cheaper RF/IR remotes listed (which I also have owned). I have my entertainment center tucked away in a closet on the other side of my apartment (at least 2-3 walls), and this remote works perfectly every time. Couldn't be easier to use, and the learning feature is fantastic. I control everything from my LCD to my Blu Ray, to my Apple Computer and even my ceiling fan.
I feel like an idiot for paying ridiculous amounts of money for other fancy remotes that don't work half as well.
BUY IT!

| | I bought this item around Christmas of last year and immediately began working on getting the codes for all my components, the typical DVD, amp, HDTV, and a NmediaPC entertainment computer hooked to the HDTV via HDMI. After several hours of reading the manual and getting the rest of the components to work, albeit somewhat clumisly because of all the page switching necessary on the remote, I failed to find the HTPC codes and began the 'learning' phase. After numerous attempts I gave up in frustration and left the remote sitting in the box in the corner. A few months later I contemplated trying again but instead threw the remote in the garbage and haven't regretted my decision.
Spend more money for a better remote with newer codes.

| This remote control deserves to be called universal | |
| | This remote is the first universal remote that really is universal. It gave me the opportunity to place all my equipment inside the closet, far away from TV and still have control over all components, even such things like HDMI switch. You need to spend some time placing emitters (6 are supplied) in the best spot on the face of each component to have the best results. Placing them directly on the optical component's sensor might not be the best thing to do. With RF20 you have an option to customize it the way you want. Setting it up was not difficult at all. It came with instructions on DVD, but I did not even open it. With other universal remotes you may get to control the unit, however there will be always couple of buttons that you will not be able to control. With RF20 remote you don't have to worry about that. If you are missing couple of buttons RF20 can easily copy them. If you have old remotes, remotes that are made by little known brands RF20 will copy all of them.
This is the most amazing product I have ever had.

| Not compatible with Directv HD DVR | |
| | Don't buy this if you have a Directv HD DVR. I bought one and then was informed by Universal Remote's so called help desk that there is no code for Directv's DVRs. I can program it using the learning function of the remote but then the vital 30 second skip cannot be programmed. A complete waste of time and money.
