ESPN The Ultimate Remote - PC Mag
PC Magazine have published a review of the ESPN "The Ultimate" Universal Remote. 'A rectangular, baton-style device, with smoothly curved edges, the remote measures 7 by 2.3 by 0.8 inches (HWD) and weighs 6.4 ounces. It's a bit bulky, and not particularly comfortable to hold, and it has a lot of tightly packed buttons that aren't finger friendly. It reminds me of the older Logitech Harmony 880, which was lousy with small buttons that were difficult to use. The battery is rechargeable, and the remote ships with a charging cradle.'
Setting up the device to control your home A/V components is easier than with, say, your standard $20 Radio Shack remote, but not by much. Inexpensive universal remotes typically come with a long list of codes, and you manually enter each one into the device using the number keys. Each hardware brand (Onkyo, Panasonic, or Sony, for example) usually has a few different codes associated with it, so discovering the one that will give your remote the ability to control you're A/V gear is often a guessing game. ESPN's remote works the same way, but the list of codes is in the remote, and you can view them on the LCD, so you don't actually have to punch them in yourself. Still, there is a good deal of trial and error involved in making sure all your devices work properly.'
