It seems that much of the cool remotes, from about 4 to 7 years ago, have been discontinued. Replacing them are more expensive units, which seem to have less buttons or functionality.
I think good DVR buttons, a complete set is a must, located at proper thumb placement. Besides the aging Harmony 650, what else out there can we look forward to? As it is, I am stuck getting used remotes, and that's a bit off putting.
Thanks for your thoughts.
Dude, seriously, I use my XR5 V4 (amber back-lit) remote from Comcast all the time and love it. The buttons are in a perfect location, the amber back-lit is digital so it actually works unlike my MX-880 and it has audio punch-through. It is not the remote that came with my Xfinity X1 setup. This is like their 2nd generation remote they have. I find my MX880 that I paid $325 for collecting dust now.
Control the power and volume of a TV.
In addition, XR5 v4 can control TV input.
Control the power and volume of an audio device, such as a soundbar or sound system.
Simultaneously control power and input of a TV and power and volume of an audio device.
