Lost remote for my Blue Ray/Surround Sound system during a move. Ordered an exact replacement and it came in DOA. I sent it back and decided to try this route instead(especially since it was in stock at my local Best Buy). It setup and worked with my audio system perfectly, I then setup my TV and DVR/cable box and they also worked! I am very impressed that it even lets me access the menus and settings on every device. The best part was that it only cost 1/3 the amount of the remote I had purchased from the online store! So nice to only have one remote to control everything!!

Extremely easy to program, supports numerous devices, lights up when room lights are off. Only downside is it is IR so you have to point it directly at the device for it to work. However, considering the cost, I find it to be very useful in my set up for the money.

The reason why IO didn't give it perfect is that there are odd changes in key functions between the original and the universal remote, and keys that disappear. so, good, not perfect.

Good, relatively inexpensive controller for most devices. Was not difficult to program, but it would not contol my Rocketfish (Best Buy brand) HDMI multi-port switch, which is the reason for the 4 stars rather than 5.

Easy to hold, very light. Lights up when you press middle large button which helps you find the correct other buttons you need to use. Love this!!
Slimmer at top half so you know which way to point remote without looking at it.
Streaming way easier than my old remote was that came with the tv.
Love it. Best universal remote and it is made for my tv brands specifically.

The Phillips 8-device remote seems like a good remote, just was not the best option for me. Needed a remote to control a roku tv and an older Yamaha receiver. Since Yamaha receivers have 2 separate power buttons for on and off, cannot find a universal remote to control the power & volume, just the volume. So I returned this remote, since it doesnt have the roku layout either, and found a universal remote with the roku layout.

Great value for the price. Bought a second one for my Samsung as it worked so well on my Vizio. Easy to program though not all functions work exactly as prescribed but still a great value for the price
