Hi Everyone,

Can anyone help me out? I have a couple of questions about the UCommand line:

-Is the 626 the most recent model, and what year did it come out?
-If it is a few years old, is there any problem getting an older remote to work with
newer equipment (Can you tell I'm a newbie)?
-Do you know of any distributers who will ship to Canada? I know their webpage lists
one Canadian reseller in Ontario, but I can't get that webpage to load.

Thanks for any help you can give me,

Terry.

HTM MX-500 is the best under $100.

If that is a learning remote, it won't matter that it is old. If it is not learning, it probably would matter since there are newer codes being used. OTOH, some companies update their code list, even in old remotes. Don't know how UCommand deals with it.

Go for an open box special at surfremote.com or bluedo. it offers pc programability and definately worth the extra dough if your time is worth anything.
