good remote
Although I don't like that have to "login" to configure the remote, the software wizard works quite nicely.

Works ... but unimpressed with ease of use, efficiency, interface.
I paid only half the retail price for this remote, and even taking that whopping discount into consideration, I was unimpressed. First, the device database is not comprehensive. There are only 3 "major" brands of HDMI switches on the market, and Belkin is one of them. This device doesn't have my Belkin 3x1 hdmi switch in their database so i had to teach the remote codes, and after all that trouble, it "found" a similar Belkin device with the same codes. The "activities" function works OK, but the... more info
