Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - For the Media Loving Technophile Sports Fan
The information provided says that no computer is required to set up this remote--BUT in order to get the full benefit of this sharp piece of technology, a computer is not only recommended but also a wireless network connected to a broadband internet connection.

To start with, I was using a Logitech Harmony One Advanced Universal Remote and loving it. Logitech has a web site set up with just about any remote command set available by manufacturer's name and model number. However, after ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Nice combination of features
What makes this remote for me is the web browsing built into the device. For example, on Saturday I was able to have the running statistics displayed via a web page on the remote for a game I was watching. No more wondering about time of possession or yardage totals or needing to have a laptop sitting next to you during the game. It is also very handy for keeping track of your fantasy team on the remote while watching all of the NFL action.

I also like the ability to set up my favorite ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Ultimate? Probably Not
I don't know if I'll agree wholeheartedly that this is the ultimate universal remote. It comes close, but there are too many issues with it that I believe I'll stay with my Logitech universal remote.
The setup is easy enough, but not really as easy as with Logitech. The ability to browse the web is nice, but the window size really limits much viewing and the agent technology used is, I believe, the same kind as on a PDA or a telephone which also limits capability.

One part of the setup ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - ESPN - The Ultimate Remote - Great For Sports Junkies, Not So Much For Home Theatre Junkies

The ESPN "The Ultimate Remote" Universal Remote is a great unit for sports junkies and puts a lot of information at your fingertips. But AV and universal remote junkies are not going to be satisfied with the manual setup process and will be better served getting the Logitech Harmony One Advanced Universal Remote or another remote in the harmony lineup. For my needs this is a good unit that will hopefully continue to improve with firmware updates.

Pros:
+ The screen is attractive ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Once you get past the packaging obstacle, a surprisingly good and useful remote. On screen guide knocks it out of the park.
Here's a product that would have brought sports fans sobbing to their knees 10-15 years ago. Easy access to relevant game and player stats, an intuitive interface allowing one to find broadcasts quickly and easily. Reasonably quick and easy set-up. Attractive aesthetically, even if Michigan Wolverine fans might disagree (that red and silver may be casually confused for scarlet and gray, by those with the proper eye). This is not, of course, to suggest that the remote is not relevant today, just that an ... Read More
