Most advanced universal remote control Very user friendly, nice design, long battery life and clear bright display. Wifi connection is easy to setup and the variety of options are endless. This device is a cut above the Logitech Harmony series. Only advice to Sony is that they reduce the price of this remote control. April 3, 2012
Good digital remote control If purchasing, this remote control, read very carefully, instructions! You have to be a little bit, more educated in electronics use, to operate this advenced apparatus! Basically, if you know what you do, it is easy to program this remote control, to work with IR(analog/digital) devices. But, it is working super duper and designed to work originally, with DLNA systems. It is greate product, for smart people! July 8, 2011
I dont understand who designed this limited system terrible. Do not buy these. I am very unhappy. The website doesnt make it very clear that the homeshare system is for DIGITAL audio only and seems to MOSTLY work with MUSIC and nothing else. Terrible. Limited. Who would design such a thing. I do NOT recommend them at ALL March 30, 2011
