A friend of mine recently purchased a Logitech Harmony One remote for 250 bucks. He raved about it but I could not afford it -- even at the recent price drop to 180. So I looked at this remote, which is the same as the X-10 Icon Remote. It is about 50 bucks which is more in my range -- so I bought it. It took less than 5 minutes to setup the remote to control my receiver, Dish DVR, DVD player, VCR, CD player, plasma TV, and X-10 controlled lights. Then it took me another 2 hours to setup "favorites" and marcos. But it works great. I set up one button that I labled "Watch TV". Hit it once and the ... Read More

Philips SRU8010 Prestigo Icon Universal Remote
Overview:
I am writing this review on behalf of my wife. This will be the first universal remote my wife actually will use. She loves it. I have scaled Mount Everest. The unit is long (9" x 2.25"), but the length accommodates the bright, backlit screen at the top, which is the one feature she loves the most. For much more detail on the screen and button layout, you can download the user manual here:
Rating: - Reasonable Priced Universal Remote
The Philips SRU8010 is a great univeral device that once you have programmed it you will be extremely pleased. I wish that years ago this was the device we purchased rather than the one we tossed away that was very flakey! Anyone who takes the time can easily program this remote for all their home devices and put away all the other remotes for good. If you want the quality of a high priced univeral at a lower price this is the one you will be pleased. I know that this is the right one for us and it will be for others also.
Rating: - macros are not great but otherwise quite pleased
Simple to program. No real need for manual or internet for assistance. Takes a little time to setup but worth it. Does a good job at mapping buttons to devices during wizard setup process. Custom LCD buttons are very nice. Nicely built. For the money .. nothing better. If you need a reasonably priced universal remote that is easy to program and use then look no further.
Rating: - Disappointed
The Icon Universal Remote Control is nothing compared with Harmony Remote. In order to control one device you have to select the device first like TV, receiver, DVD or cable box. You cannot change the volume on the receiver if your watching TV without selecting the receiver button. To change channels you have to change from TV to Cable mode/key. Unlike the Harmony remote you can change the channel and volume without changing device keys.
Eliminating the use of computer to program the remote makes it more difficult and longer. The Icon remote could not find the exact code for my Onkyo ... Read More
