I use this remote along with the universal expander to run a DVR, a DVD/VHS and home theater that are set up in a storage room and connected to my family room TV (i.e. the equipment is behind a wall).PROS: It works better than I had hoped. The radio connection works every time. Programming is fairly easy and it runs off-brand equipment just fineCONS: The touch screen is a little to small for fat-fingered people.
