Logitech Remote Controls

If you are like me then you will have lots of remote controls sitting around all over the place.  Well I got myself a Logitech remote controls to get rid of my AV remote controls, LCD remote Controls, Freeview remote controls and my Toshiba remote controls.

I have tried many different types of reprogrammable remote controls in the past and I must admit that programming my Logitech remote controls was very easy to do and I also found it easy to configure multiple applications.  I have tried lots of reprogrammable remote controls in the past as I have quite an extensive TV / AV system at home and this results in having several remote controls sitting on my coffee table and subsequently I lose one occasionally.  There is nothing worse then having to find the remote control just when your favourite program is just about to start.

My new Logitech remote controls required a pc to set it up and I loaded the software up and then it starts to ask you for the make and model numbers of all the devices that you want to be able to program with your Logitech remote controls.  The library of devices from the software is claimed to be over 200,000 so if your device is not amongst that lot then you must have a unique one off product!  The Logitech remote controls also have the ability to copy / learn from the original remote control.  Once you have done this you then get the option to set up different devices and then configure each one individually to operate with the buttons on your Logitech remote controls.

I found with my Logitech remote controls that all the main standard buttons for controlling televisions, AV, set top boxes are all found together and you also have four soft selectable keys that have LCD programmable scroll keys which is great so you don’t have to remember which channel is on which device setting. 

I found the Logitech remote controls to work very well with my setup and its size is just about right for me with a really nice glossy finish.  The main thing is that it can also be operated just using one hand and the backlight on the device is very strong.  Main power is via batteries and it takes 4 AAA batteries which if like me you can get rechargeable batteries which will last you at least 3 months on a full charge.

I really like the comprehensive library of remotes and the ease of the software setup for my Logitech remote controls and I think this with such a low price makes it a great purchase.
