I admit I'm a techie, and therefore has nothing to really tore me lately of the devices that come on the market so the stool. However, this remote is the ingenious device that I have seen since I-Pad. To understand this, one needs to know the following: The "norms" and especially the outstanding techniques of infrared remote controls on all the producers are like a Babylonian chaos. Before purchasing this remote, I could not imagine that you will also find the only approach can create a unified remote control six devices from different manufacturers. The Logitech was my third attempt. Base: TV, cable box, stereo receiver, BlueRay player, Apple TV and an HDMI switch with four inputs and two outputs. All devices of totally different manufacturers and all infrared remote control. The problem: If I want TV, TV must be switched on, the input will be switched to "monitor", the HDMI switch are switched to channel A1, finally, the cable box must be started in the "TV" mode. That was far roulette with remotes. This process can be completely and reliably set in the Logitech remote control - that's rather nice. But now the premier class: I also see now and remote, but would sometimes hear the sound of my hi-fi system. It is therefore necessary for the above constellation nor the hi-fi system can be started, the input channel be set to "AUX" and the tone control must switch to the Hift system from the TV. This creates the thing never - so I thought - but she manages. The secret are "actions" that can be programmed into this remote control. So there is now the Action "television" and a second "TV with Hifi". The trick is that everything starts immediately in the correct configuration on a push of a button. And the upper-trick is that even I can from one mode to the other SWITCHING without it previously off my back in service components. The designers have really invested brains in a maximum problem solving. Programming only works with online connection to the Internet. This is interpreted by some as negative, but that is nonsense! This is the only way to something will ever use. The user is supported by many Plausis and aids. Nevertheless, it must be said, one needs a basic understanding of modern media. But the People who have such a complicated system structures have anyway. In other words: This remote control make it with with help of all currently known techniques to bring order to chaos. The cost of this is not to minimize in my estimation. All in all, I now have 8 different activities with all possible settings including the streaming of music via Apple -. TV with output via the stereo and it works flawlessly - ALL ATTENTION !!! prefer six stars, unfortunately there are only five, (Of course it is very expensive! but worth it!)
Addendum after four months of experience. There is no reason to change my vote - all the best. But here is a very important tip: What I noticed: In the complicated system as above, the unit takes time to adjust all of the circuits. The most common mistake of the operator: He turns on a feature that sees that the TV responds and puts down the remote control
