![]() ALso does it have the one to0uch buttons like the harmony. Urc remote rf blaster movie#Its nice to just hit the bitton next to the movie and it puts it in. this is handy if you have the sony 400 dvd player which I had and may get again. Does it have a media button like the harmony does that can store movies. I have a few questions yo owners of this remote may know. *special note: thanks, again, to MDS for his post regarding this deal, and sharing the differences between this unit, and the more advanced remotes. I'm here to tell you to get a URC for the same money. Urc remote rf blaster software#I originally went with Harmony because the noobie-appeal of a software based system was too difficult to resist. ![]() So you think you don't need RF? What if you use your "macro", and your dog walks in front on your AV stand? What if a pretty lady is passing by the window, and you get up to gawk? The RF will still execute without a hitch. While that is debatable, the fact is I can do it much, much faster than I could with the Harmony software. IMO, using the learning function on the URC is much easier than the computer based system of the Harmony. It is a superior remote to the Harmony, while also having RF capability, at an identical price. ![]() AFAIK, more advanced models can have commands assigned to any particular blaster or AV system. I don't watch TV, so I used "prev CH" (which I presume is for channel) as "previous chapter". One can always assign unused button for those commands, but its understandably less than intuitive for some. As I only watch BD and HD-DVD, I use the pop-up menu with the toggle anyways, but for those who watch a lot of DVDs, it could be a concern. I use them as FF/RR, but then I don't have chapter skips. My Harmony is really chintzy in this regard, IMO. The feel, size, and weight of the remote and buttons are incomparable. The default length of backlighting seems perfectly fine for me, but its adjustable between 0-99 seconds, or completely defeatable as well. I also prefer the red light over the blue light of the Harmony. The Harmony always lights up (though it can be quickly turned off, but it MUST light up, AFAIK). I love that the backlight does not HAVE to turn on unless I hit the "light" button. Urc remote rf blaster code#Perhaps user error on my part? But the URC is so easy!!!! Every code took on the first try. It's been a while, but even using the learning command with the Harmony seemed useless to me at the time. Less important stuff, but nevertheless I think of functions like dimmer, display/status, return, and so forth. ![]() I remember certain codes in Harmony's database did not work. I used the learning function, rather than pre-programmed codes. However, I will assume that Harmony's software and database have been improved upon since I've played with those. I personally found much it easier to program than the Harmony. All this, and still only 15 minutes to program everything. Only after re-programming for HD-DVD, thinking I programmed incorrectly, did I troubleshoot. I think it would have been faster if I realized that one of the emitter jacks was just barely loose at the RF/IR blaster. It only took 15 minutes to program 2 macros. My preliminary comparisons as I just finished programming today: You can't even tell they are on my components until you get very close. These wires are extremely thin, and as a whole, the emitters are very discreet. It comes with 6 stick-on emitters, which are 10 ft in length. The URC RFS200 PowerPak Bundle w/ MasterControl RF20 and PowerBlaster costs only $83, atm.
