    If you have an elaborate sound system for your house this one may not be for you, however I have a simple system and just wanted to eliminate controllers. It works great. I went online loaded my devices, set sequences and off I went. You can control devices separately once powered on and it is incredible to have work as advertised. I have a ROKU TV, cable box, Netflix, NFL Gameday, Surround sound system and DVD-Blu Ray all controlled by this device. Minor learning curve but you will not be disappointed.
