Title: I Would Not Buy This Remote Even Though It Works Great
Review: I purchased this remote in early 2006 and it is a wonderful remote. I cannot imagine a better universal remote. You download device information from a website for most popular devices. These are easily configurable. Too bad you can no longer do this.....However, as others have mentioned, unless you purchase this from an authorized dealer, the remote is more or less useless. This new policy from URC is as of August 1, 2006.Although I love this remote, I strongly suggest you look elsewhere for a remote from a friendlier company than URC - or make sure the remote dealer is authorized by URC AND stays authorized since you need to go to your dealer for all future software device updates. So, if the dealer is no longer authorized at the time in the future when you buy a new TV or DVD player and you wish to use this remote to control it, you are out of luck.
