We bought this unit for the members of our family who are approaching 90 years of age. The large button configuration means they can see what to press at a glance and they can press one button at a time easily. It's a simple idea, but a great replacement for the tiny buttons that come with most modern video equipment. It installed easily, too.

Easy to program for basic tv use. Not able to program with our dish network unit, maybe beacuse it uses infrared and this doesn't. Also unable to program to use with our Sony Blu ray. Too bad we really liked the size....

I have tried every code and every trick I can think of but it will no work with my Olevia. It does work with my cable box--although the "back" function does not work so it isn't even quite up to the task when a code does work. I wish Brookstone had an update page because perhaps they could supply new codes as they try to make it work with other units like my Olevia

This was a gift for my father. It's a good gift for the price and works fairly well. The only trouble he's had so far is the incompatibility with the Digital Video Recorder on his satellite, he still needs to have other remotes nearby to check programming.

This product would be just about perfect if it had a cursor button so that you could use it with DVD and cable TV menus. I can turn my DVD player on, but many of my disks require you to select "play" from a menu. This remote cannot accomodate that.

This remote is not easily lost. It's been dropped by the kids and stepped on by the dogs, and it still works. Very easy to program, but didn't have our cheapo DVD player and I didn't have the patience to go through number-by-number setup. We like this remote! I did see a similar product much cheapter at a local retail establishment, but I don't know if the quality would have been as good. Happy shopping!

Orignally bought for me as a gag gift to match my super-sized desk top calculator; this remote ended up running our entire entertainment center.
I haven't figured out how to use it to simulate every option on all the remotes for all the devices but it operates the basic options for all of them and makes it easy to just watch TV, Movies and listen to music.
