    The setup is tedious, help button useless, telephone assistance a joke. After spending several hours the unit was never capable of playing a dvd. The wait for customer assistance was agonizingly long and provided no solution. I returned the product and will not buy another or recommend one. This from an engineer who builds sets up computers.

    Horrible remote. I’m computer savvy, and I love my home theatre, but this remote can not be utilized. First off the software it comes with infests your computer. It’s worse than Norton or Realplayer, it puts links on your desktop, on your tool bar, and even puts links in your internet browser. Then it asks you for all of your model numbers. Then it crashes. Then it asks you a bunch of questions. Then it crashes. Then it uploads the codes to your remote. At which point your remote will turn off your t.v., and not let you turn it back on. If you, say, manually turn the t.v. on, about 30 seconds later your remote will turn it off. Awesome.

    As I write this, I’m in minute 40 of holding for ‘elevated’ tech support because the first flunkie had no clue; the programming software is locked up, and the thing was unable to see my Dish Network IR remote as it is advertised to do. And why does a remote advertised to be compatible with PVRs have no “PVR” button and “View Live TV” button? That’s just Katherine-Harris-Crazy. I’m ready the throw this thing back in the box, but of course, I’m out shipping charges. Don’t waste your money. Maybe if they supported this thing better, it would be a good product. But with this poor support, it’s just JUNK.

    This thing has the clunkiest interface, and is the most troublesome to program, of any digital device I’ve ever encountered. What a royal pain to set up, by webpage wizards!!! Want to adjust something? First get online, then work your way through a bunch of circular wizard questions, none of which are appropriate, down load software updates repeatedly, keep at it for hours…Hate reading documentation? Don’t worry, it doesn’t come with any–instead, check online.

    After fighting this thing for 3 months, I did more careful research and bought a Universal Remote URC200–actually cost less…and what a difference!

    The URC200 is a very well-designed control. Both IR and RF functions are flawless. Easy to set up, easy to “learn” any command from any other remote (for example, it didn’t come with a code for my Sanyo PLV-80 projector, but I was able to get it to learn ALL the Sanyo remote’s commands — like lens shift, input, focus, etc.– in less than 3 minutes!) The optional base station works very well, but its antenna should not be too close (1 foot) to any component or DVI cables (otherwise it picks up spurious signals and blocks out the remote’s RF transmissions). I use mine from 50 feet, through walls. What a refreshing change after the Logitech Harmony! I purchased mine as a set with the base station from B & H Photo online for 99.95.

    I purchased the 670 in the hopes of simplifying my remote life. I have four remotes (TV, DVD, receiver, PVR). While the wizard to setup the device was easy and it had my hardware in the database, I have returned the item.

    Many, many of the keys on my remotes were NOT represented on this universal remote. As a result, I still needed all of my device specific remotes in arms reach. I also felt the hard key placement was not condusive to easy PVR usage.

    For extremely basic controls of a system, I guess the unit would be OK. But if you have even remotely advanced equipment or need to access the special feature buttons, DO NOT get this remote. Stick with your device specific remotes.
