4 in 1 Universal Backlit IR Learning Remote for use with Apple TV, Xbox, Roku, Kodi, Nvidia Shield, Most Streamers & Other A/V Devices

This worked really well, I used to have a harmony, remote, and they stopped supporting the remotes. I got this for cheap compared to the harmony remote. I have Windows media center and I could not get it to work and the reason why is because I have a very old USB IR dongle which was used for Vista. If the code listed under media center or Microsoft doesn’t work for you try the code for Vista, which is 01322. You don’t have to necessarily buy the remote dongle that they provide.I figured this out by going an getting the old remote out of a pile of remotes that I have and looking at the model number and discovered that it was for Vista, one of the first Media Center PC operating systems.Overall, this is a really nice remote. If you can’t use your harmony anymore, I would start here first. Does macros and everything. Really simple set up easy website to work with. Something harmony could easily done very disappointed in Logitech but thankful for inteset.

You know... This is another of those gadgets that -really- surprises me.But first- my setup:I'm using- Sony Bravia TV, Sony soundbar, and an Xbox One. (No cable, no dish, etc. Just TV, Sound and Game.)With all due respect and no offense to the company, I hope, but on the surface this looks like just another of those 'off-brand' products from a category of products where there are not many 'name brand' options. 'Off brand' in the sense that you've never heard of them and they're not usually worth bothering with. And even the name brand ones that I've experienced are either very expensive, overy complicated and even so just don't work. (And often a combination of all three.)And yet this remote- It. just. works.It does exactly what it says it's going to. It works. It's easy to program. I am very pleased with the design. There are some little adjustments I have to make with words like 'info' and 'display' and the functions it picked up from the TV, but those are minor and I could probably reprogram them around if I wanted to. But this is also true of most universal remotes.The most surprising thing about this product to me was... well, number one was that the programming/configuration options work, and work well. Then I have to mention the 2nd most surprising thing- that the device has such a variety of button programming options. It's really amazing and cool. (And back to #1- They work!)I'm too lazy to go back and compare the manual to the amazon description- but I want to say that it seems the remote can do MORE than what the Amazon description says.By way of example I'll describe some of my setup: (I have three of the four 'device' buttons set: 'empty', 'xbox', 'sony soundbar', and 'sony tv')- I have a special button to turn both my tv and soundbar on and off at the same time (I can't do this from either of the sony remotes.. super frustrating.)- The volume level controls the sound bar regardless of what device I'm set on the remote.- The 'input' button cycles through the TV inputs (hdmi1, hdmi2, tv, etc.) when set on 'TV' and' Xbox', but -not- when set on 'soundbar'. For the soundbar it cycles through the soundbar input options (bluetooth, input 1, input 2, etc.)You can universally set a button to work across all devices (usually volume, etc.), you can individually program any button FROM ANY OF THE DEVICES. (The power button might be an exception, I forget).It has 5 buttons (really 8) that are default empty and can be programmed.You can program multiple commands to one button. (Like- Turn on the xbox, mute the tv, and change the sound bar input one input slot (or two or three.)And most and bestest of all - IT WORKS! IT WORKS JUST LIKE IT SAYS IT WILL. That's the most delightful thing about it, lol... It frickin' just does what it says it will do.Yes, you gotta look up and play around with remote codes. Yes, to program the buttons you have to hit 'program' then a special code, then the destination button, then a code and then the origin button. Yes, you might have to point your remote at the original remote and beam one to the other. But that's true of all programmable universal remotes.My two Sony remotes went in to a drawer 20 minutes after starting to play around with this one. And now I have a proper remote to control dvds though the xbox (instead of the controller).I am amazed and cannot highly enough recommend this remote. If you have a setup like mine, you'll be fine....

Overall, I am happy with this remote, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who has an Xbox One and Apple TV. This single remote is way better than the "annoyingly small / easy to lose" Apple TV remote and the "takes forever to turn on / my wife has a hard time using it" Xbox One controller.This remote worked great for 6 months until it suddenly went completely dead. I contacted Inteset, first through Amazon, but they asked me to contact them via their own web site. It was a little difficult getting a hold of them, but they cited an issue with their email server. To make a long story short, with a minor headache I was able to mail the remote and receive what looks like the same one, but refurbished. The remote is working fine now, so in the end I am happy with the product. If your product breaks, be a little patient, reach out multiple times if you don't get an immediate response, and they will honor the warranty.As far as the remote's performance goes, it is just about perfect for Apple TV and Xbox One. I do not have a WMC or Roku, so I cannot speak to that performance. Using the remote for other devices is possible by programming it with remote codes. The process is pretty simple, but I was really only able to get a few basic functions to work for my receiver (volume up, volume down, power, etc.), so day-to-day it is convenient enough. For the advanced features you will likely have to use the original remote, which isn't that big of a deal. The remote is also a nice size compared to other universal remotes I've seen, which can be pretty overwhelming. This one doesn't overdo it on the number of buttons and features.
