2 remotes are beter than 1

So now the epic battle between the remote control can be fought over the air waves instead of over who has control of the remote!

These things are GREAT! They allow me to change the channel on the TV WITHOUT having to get up. otterific!

amazon price, good deal here

Here it is at Amazon

I was looking at this one at Sear's, and theirs is $14.99.... for one!

Doe sit control TiVos? I doubt it. Not may remotes are THAT universal.

TiVo compatible including the thumbs up & thumbs down keys. Nice!!

If anyone you know has has one of the HORRIBLE remotes that come with TV's these days these are a simpler alternative.

Will it work with a LCD monitor?

Sorry Billy, Happy Pony is on and I'm not missing Happy Pony.

Wow, at this price it's like getting up to 4 for the price of 1. If my card weren't maxed out, I'd get like 6. Hell, being this price I swear I'd keep one in my suitcase and one in my car for those times when I go to somebody's house and they don't know where their remote is.

Great deal... cheap... worth it.. that's all that matters.

If the Remote is Universal, wouldn't you only need one to do anything? Wouldn't having two cause some sort of rift in the time space continuum?

Anyone know if they work with Olevia TV's and Comcast boxes? I have 2 of each and no remotes seem to work with both.

how come it seems that no one from mississippi ever goes out wooting?

Yaaaaay! Something(s) I can actually USE!!! In for one, and praying the the Roomba cat litter box cleaning robot...

work with Charter's DVR?

Review at Universal Remote

Do note that TiVo remotes and (all the ones I've tried) DVR remotes are programmable universal remotes, as well. You don't need these if you have one.

oh good! just what i needed. a remote to control the universe!

All devices since 1990. Also, there are tons of DVR models.

That figures. I just bought this remote at Wal-Mart for about $17 (only 1, so not a bad deal here).

Negative: The buttons have to be pressed pretty hard, but I'm hoping that will change with use.

Positive: Very handy "learn" function for when codes do not work or new electronics come out

Anyone know if this will work with Boxee if I have an IR receiver for the computer it is on?

I need 2 of these simply as emergency remotes. I am ALWAYS losing the TiVote somewhere insane, like the refrigerator, my car, my backpack. I could chain one of these to the coffee table like those bank pens. The other, that one is going in a "IN CASE OF EMERGENCY" case. I'll never go without channel changing again.

Does it work with Mac?

Philips remotes have poor carbon coating on the keys. It won't get better and they don't last long compared to decent remotes.

A few reviews from Amazon

Probably a longer review than a remote strictly requires but here it is: Click Here and Behold

Do the buttons light up so you can use it in a darkened HT room?

I don't care if it's not the same model - I had to link to this video.

For this price I am to assume that this is a IR remote and not RF?

Yes.
