| reliability a major issue | |
| | I have now had 3 ARRU449 remotes. I do not use them as hockey pucks. They simply work for awhile and then fail. Trying to get them replaced is equal to the reliability of the unit. Both are losers!
In defense of the unit, set up is a breeze and when it works it is wonderful. In addition it allows you to access the internet for the TV programs in your area. Would I get another one - well hopefully Acoustic Research will send one but otherwise no way. I would look for a unit with better reliability

| | This product is great as long as you have a Linksys router to create a wireless internet network in your home so your remote can connect to the internet.
Only problem with this remote is you constantly have to recharge it too much. I guess sometimes I didn't have my charger plugged in correctly so it might just seem that way to me because it didn't recharge well enough, but the remote takes alot of power to run and ends up needing to be recharged every night or maybe once every 2 days.

| | Very disappointing. Out of the box, the control could not handle 1) my cable box, 2) my audio processor, 3) my Blue Ray Disk player. Honestly, a complete waste of money for me.

| AR Rules in wifi remotes, move it over Logitech | |
| | Awesome,awesome and then some. Was a Harmony guy after hunting and hunting for the right one, thought I found it till I stumbled on this remote. I don't see Logitech going wifi and wifi really puts this over the top as far as I'm concerned. Weather,messaging,games geez it's beyond a smart remote it's more like a smart phone for your electronic devices.
Get it ,it's worth it.

| | This is a good remote. Because of the wireless feature you can see the channel guide on it's screen. Easy to set up. Only flaw is that this is a rechargeable remote and if it dies you have to reset the thing. Not a big hassle but something you have to be aware of.
