I need a UNIVERSAL remote! - Blu-ray Forum

B-Hop · 02-03-2009, 09:32 PM

Any idea where to find a in-expensive one that works for my Memorex blu ray player? Company screwed me and forgot to send the remote! Thanks in advance.

Thank you!

I'm also in need of a remote. Do you happen to know if this remote allows you to change from one HDMI source to another HDMI source?

aesnakes · 02-03-2009, 11:32 PM

I got the 880 for $80 from someone local, I tried off ebay and the IR in the remote didn't work...sent it back and he got away with not refunding my money...so be careful. I love the 880, and so does the girlfriend. she hated all the sony remotes we had and they all looked the same, TV, BluRay, Receiver...and you can modify them to suite your needs....great buy just try to get them at some shop that's going out of business or look on craigslist..

WoW, Thanks, I was looking at the 880 but I wanted to try to find one a little cheaper. Plus, I'd rather have this one if it brings me the cold ones!!!

Nice! Good to see another satisfied Harmony remote owner. I'm thinking of upgrading to the 1000 soon.

I have not used this one specifically, but it looks terrible. The button layout and appearance alone are enough for me to skip it. However, I am familiar with their setup and programming, though it's been a year or two. I can't imagine much has changed, and these are just not as intuitive as the Harmony, the amount of customization doesn't compare, the functionality is not on the same level.

URC makes a quality product, but using one is just more trouble than it's worth IMO.

Why upgrade, this one i got is plenty is it not? Whats the major difference in upgrading?

Sherm · 02-10-2009, 12:51 AM

I love my MX-980, it has a motion sensor in it, as soon as it senses movement the backlight comes on. It expensive but worth it

B-Hop · 02-10-2009, 02:00 PM

Well............ since someone helped me out with my remote I would like to payback the favor. Here is a great price on ebay and they have 10 left, enjoy!
