    Saw this and was hoping would allow me to replace some of my remotes.

    Clicky

    The main problem I think I'll have is with the contents buttons on my dvd hdd recorder (targa one). Anyone use one of these / similar. Worth a tenner?

    looks good for a tenner
    all depends on how well the learning function works I guess, but this should allow you to program any button from another ir remote.

    I have been using a Marantz one for the past 6-7 years. Excellent piece of kit. Cost a lot more than €10 too, so yes, it is worth it at a tenner.

    It seems to be a learning remote, so you can assign the functions of whatever source remote to that new one. Can't see why it wouldnt work wit your dvdhdd remote.

    Of course, you may lose some functionality - ie there may be more buttons on the source remote than the new one, but you probably rarely if ever use them. Or, you could spread them across more of the 8 devices.

    Im interested in one of these too -just wish the actual buttons lit up aswell as I like to watch films in the dark.

    €10 is a genuine bargain though and it should be worth the risk of it not working properly on everything

    I don't see why not, if the 360 remote is a standard IR one and you have a donor one to learn from.

    Of course, it would not be beyond all realms of possibility that M$ do something to the codes to make them proprietry to their remote control.

    Just like to point out a resounding success with the remote. Have been able to control fully my
    • Panasonic Sky Box (all functions)
    • Sony Television
    • Ronin DVD Player
    • Targa DVD HDD Recorder
    The targa took a lot of manual programming for me, which is a little annoying as you can't just add a few keys then add some more later. Starts again everytime.

    I got two of them earlier today

    Seems to work okay, lot's of preset codes of course

    Doesn't seem to work with my infocus projector though, and seemed to get a bit unstable after adding too many custom buttons, but for a tenner still great
