Reviews of the URC Digital R50
-
CNET Review
The Good: Controls 18 devices; easy, wizard-based programming using built-in screen--no need to connect to a PC; capability to learn from other remotes; large, superbright screen with eight contextual hard buttons; backlit keypad; multidevice macro programming.
The Bad: No rechargeable-battery option; button layout is good, but could be better; some programming functions could be more straightforward; costs almost twice as much as similar, competing models.
The Bottom Line: The URC Digital R50's successful combination of good ergonomics, solid design, and easy programmability makes it a good alternative to Logitech Harmony universal remotes.
