Summary: BUY THIS REMOTE!!!!!!!
Comment: TRULY AWSOME REMOTE!!!!!!! Finally, a remote that really can replace all your remotes at a reasonable price. And the best thing is, it is not cumbersome to use after it is programmed. This is the one to buy!!!!! NOTE: Some users did not like the key setup around the scroll button because it was easy to hit the wrong key in the dark. The keys have been redesigned to minimize this from happening.

Summary: Flexible design that works wonders
Comment: This universal remote is simple to setup and works great. It is easy to program devices and setup in our crazy electronics world we live in. I previously owned a more expensive Harmony remote which broke down over time recharging. This remote simply needs batteries when it runs out and that took a long time to reach. I have a Tivo and this remote allows me to do everything with my Tivo that I used it for.
This is one of the best kept secrets. So many electronic reviewers marvel at the Harmony remotes, but they do not work nearly as well as this unit. The MX 500 is perfect for me and I could not be happier.

Summary: MX-500 is a great remote
Comment: I found the MX-500 easy to program and love the macro capibility. The pre-programmed modes are okay for a start but the learn mode was nice to fill in the specific features needed. I am operating my surround sound 7.1 receiver, hdtv, dvc and vcr without any problems. I have not tried smaller devices but it looks like it would operate just about anything.

Summary: Best Remote On The Market!!!
Comment: I own several of these remotes as they are so awesome! I hope they will alwys keep manufacturing this model!
The main positive is that the most important buttons are imeediately at your disposal and has an essential LCD to program those unique buttons every crappy device remote seems to have.
The buttons have a great, sturdy tactile feel with button numbers that WON'T rub out after a short time (unlike other famous much more expensive glitzy models).
The only thing I wish this remote had was a hibernation feature where the LCD goes off after a certain amount of time (left to the user's discretion). This would save a HUGE AMOUNT of battery life! Battery life is still OK at about 5 months of constant daily use, but it could be so much better at over a year if they implemented this feature which even cheapo LCD units have. Thank goodness for cheap batteries at Costco!
In addition, I wish it had a battery meter. You never know when the batteries are running out. Only when you get to the point where you have to press buttons several times do you get the hint that it's not the unit that's failing you but the batteries.
Other than than that, the unit is solid and a near perfect efficient combination of hard buttons and LCD usefulness!

Summary: Basic Universal Remote
Comment: Nice unit, but not nearly updated enough to make it easy to set up systems with. A nice basic universal.
