On receiving this remote for his birthday, my cousin was beside himself with childish excitement, even squealing, “It’s a thing of beauty!” And while I initially thought that was taking it a bit too far, I now agree with him.
For a start, this be-all-and-end-all URC has a whopping 55 buttons to play with, each of which can be customised with a simple click of a mouse. The thought of getting out your PC and connecting to the net might seem like a pain but honestly set up is dead easy and only takes about 10 minutes to complete.
Cool features include the “one-button on and off” function for all devices, as well as a robust and hardy shell. It also works with your PVR like a dream. The best thing about this remote, however, is the price. Retailing at just R270 you’re getting good value for your money.
Other remotes with fancy LCD touch screens that also control your blinds and air conditioner are great, but they’re not as cost effective. And anyway, if you had a remote for everything you might never get off the couch.
