Yay for you! This place sells lots of neat stuff, although the staff are all quite insane. Makes for a nice place to while away the insomnia hours of the night.

Of course, it is the customers who shop here that warped them so badly.

Pull up a restraint chair and a white jacket and make yourself at home.

I have a receiver that I use for my volume, would I be able to program this bad boy to be hooked up to my Digital Cable, while using just the volume for my Receiver? or am I going to have to switch to the receiver every time I want to change the volume?

On most remotes that are half smart, you can set the volume to be "global", that is , all volume functions are sent to the reciever. I don't know for shure if this one can be set like this, but I woud assume so.
read the manual, the link has been posted.

In other words can one button turn on/off my TV,Cable/ Sat box , surround system, and VCR at the same time? Also can it control the channel on the cable box, the sound on the surrond system and the display mode (or other controls) on the TV without switching to each device before hand?

No, it does not have macro programming capabilities so you can't program one button to perform a bunch of commands. AS for the second question, I don't believe you can mix modes like that. This is a very simple control.

Next time I say "in for 1" tell me to "buy 3"!
I forget the shipping is the same for 1 or 3. At that price, 3 would have been good around the house.

Oh yeah, "beautiful tulip Cheney!" Hee hee hee

Yea, so it seems. I'm not so sure it's a good buy at any price. I can go to Wally-Mart and get the same type of thing for under $13. The Radio Shack unit is looking better and better to me.

Looks cool, but not cool enough. where are the harmony remotes woot?

Wooted 2. Boyfriend is getting a new tv tonight because the one I bought him 3 years ago died last night. Will bite the bullet and even program it for him.

Some of his channels will be as follows:
* FSN: The Channel With Some English Guy Yelling Over Soccer Highlights
* ESPN Poker? I don't even know her
* The Sleep Channel, a.k.a. The Golf, Tennis, & Auto Racing Channel
* A&E, Because you can never get enough CSI Miami...

Thanks! Guess I could have just looked it up myself..heh.

Thanks, it does have that feature as shown above. What a handy feature.

I don't see a button for ESPN 8 "The Ocho" - no Ocho, no go.

in for 2 :D

sorry if this has been posted and I know a long shot but does anyone know if this will control the tivo hd?
and if so, what exact functions would it control. our family fights for the tivo control nightly ;)

Y'know, I am a big fan of SPEED channel and Formula ONE racing, but I will admit that hearing those V8 engines revving at 19,000 RPM does make me go to sleep. Since I have a DVR I can always rewind it back to where I may have dozed off. No harm done.

this remote costs 20 dollars in the store so 10 dollars is pretty good!

You should be able to program it in.

Just how long do you think these stickers will stick??

Gotta luv dodgeball

can this control my iPod from across the room?

I believe this remote can be made to work with macros, even though it wasn't designed as such.

In my opinion, based on my interpretation of the owner's manual, the 10 "channel favorite" buttons can be used as simple "macro" buttons.

However, each macro button can only be directed to a specific device. I believe there may be a workaround for this also:

1. Assign a dummy device (sat if you don't have sat) to be used for your macro actions.

2. Use learning to program the numbers 0-9 of the dummy device to correspond to the keystrokes you will later use for your macros. For example, 0 would be learned as surround sound, and 1 would be learned as source switch on the TV, and 2 would be learned as mute, and 3 would be learned as backspace.

3. Use the favorites /aka macro buttons, assigned to the dummy sat device, to create your macros. For example, you could program the CBS macro to be 0123 which would in this example when you press the CBS button it would do (0)surround sounds, (1)change the source, (2)mute, and (3)backspace.

3b. If you assign through learning the numbers 5,6,7,8 to turn off your four other real devices, then the channel favorite macro assigned to 5-6-7-8 would be the all-power-button.

4. SO what this means, is that if you get 3 of them, and glue them to a piece of plywood, then for $20 total you have a 30-button macro capable remote!

5. Or you could get two of them and glue them back-to-back. for a $15, two-sided, 20-button macro remote.

if you slow down the number delay and teach it the signals from your roomba, you can perhaps use the channel favorite 'macro' buttons to make the Roomba dance. Five steps per macro button.

No thanks.

Looks good, ordered three.........
order in......
AAUUUGGGGHHHHH!!!!!NOOOOOO!!!!
it's SMARTPOST
(whimper, sob, sob.....)

in for 3...great price perfect for christmas

I have been using the Philips PMDVD6 which is a six device learnable remote and love it. I hope the SRU4105 will be as good. As for the learning it is not a simple point and learn; there is a sequence 4 properly sequenced buttons to press &/or hold before the learning can be done and is quite a chore when so many remotes have in excess of twenty buttons.

1. Type in the name of the desired channel in a Google search window
2. Click or press enter
3. Click on "Images" in the top left hand corner of the screen
4. Find an image of the channel's logo
5. Save the image to your desktop
6. Open a popular photo editor such as Photoshop
7. Resample the image down to a smaller size, leaving a similar border size between the logo and the edges of the canvas as the pre-included logo stickers have.
8. Print test labels onto a sheet of regular 8.5"x11" paper so as not to waste valuable label paper.
9. If correct size (defined as within 2mm of the pre-included labels) print onto label paper
10. Carefully cut (preferably with a paper cutter) into similar size as pre-included labels
11. Apple to your remote
12. Feel satisfied and capable

I'd just write over them with a big black sharpie. By the time you did all that you could have found (and saved from the materials) enough to by a real remote.

joemama127 wrote:can this control my iPod from across the room?

I know you kidding (?) but technically, yes! Just buy one of those many iPod speaker thingies with a remote, dock the iPod and train the Phillips remote to emulate the dock's remote. Voila, you're controlling the iPod. And yes, for those with a Roomba, you can control the Roomba too if it's one of the ones with a remote.

I don;t think this would work on my Dynex tv

Geez this is ghettofabulous. Wonder how long it'll be before the stickers get all grimy and start peeling at the corners. Eww...

BTW - what's this with the "Manos, the Hands of Fate" ? I'm guessing it's some sort of woot filter? Seems really stupid IMHO

why not..in for a bundle...

worlddomnit wrote:I don;t think this would work on my Dynex tv

Probably would work; I've seen Dynex in the database of many universal remote. Even if it doesn't you can train it if you have the original remote. Simply copy each button.

I got 3...and since this has been available all day...they must of had more than 3. ;)

I own a Harmony and anything else I have tried is a waste of money, even if it is only ten bucks.

I'm in for 1...yeah, I know...Big Spender.

I will definitely give this a try. Hopefully these arrive before snow (Damn you, SmartPost!)

has anyones shipped yet? This is my first woot and i have no idea about how long it takes to ship things.

Just keep checking the forum. As soon as people start getting them in they'll type a small review. Feel , look , function , etc.


I really hope there is a protective plastic cover for all those stickers.

First thing I do when I get mine is make copies of the sticker sheets. Print some out on card stock , Photo paper , and get a backup on my PC.

PEOPLE start choosing your favorites NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sure they'll ship any day now. And with SmartPost you'll surely get it by Christmas.

Get it by Christmas? Boy, are you optimistic!
