 Won't program my Dish Network Receiver July 22, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I read up on quite a few of the remotes and settled on this one for the positive reviews and the cost. I bought two of them in fact, one for both of my tv's. I am tired of having 4 remotes. I found out shortly thereafter that this remote won't control my Dish Network 921 receivers because they operate on UHF. This is one of their highest tech receievers as it is a DVR/HD/dual tuner receiver. I wasted more time when I called URC and they told me to call Dish Network and that they could help me make it work. They had no idea what I was talking about and they told me that they don't support 3rd party remotes (can't blame them for that). I didn't like that I was transferred to India and that the person, hearing what I needed thought that I wanted to buy another remote, but that is another story and the state of customer service most of the time these days. The problem that I have with URC is that 1. They sell a remote and their website has no compatibilty chart with common devices. Logitech does and I should've spent the extra $50 apiece and bought theirs. 2. Their customer service, knowing that they had sold a remote that wouldn't work with Dish Network, could have offered to exchange and upgrade it (at my cost of course), but they didn't offer that. My advice, buy your remotes from someone who guarantees compatibility. I have a couple of paperweights that I intend to resell used here or on Ebay or craigslist at a loss
 Ok univeral remote June 12, 2008
It has a good solid feel to it as other reviewers have said. I bought it to mainly replace an ailing tv remote, but it wasn't fully compatible with my tv. I had to program each button individually. This was a little difficult since some of the old remote's buttons don't work so well. Once I did this the remote works nicely. One thing I find annoying is that the number buttons are located toward the bottom of the remote instead of nearer to the channel and volume buttons.

This was a Warranty response for this remote. It was handled in a responsible and timely manner. The faulty remote was replaced by a new remote. I was entirely satisfied.

This is a fine, inexpensive remote that seems to work well but has minimal programming features. It does work all my equipment and most of the equipment features. One big drawback is the "One Button" on/off function. Once you program it to turn on/off the equipment, there is no capability left in the remote to turn off/on the equipment seperately. A rather big drawback if you are finished with one piece and not another or if one piece of equipment fails to come on.
