Philips PMDVR8

Pros: Simple programming, good ergonomics, fairly cheap.

Cons: Not great for high-end receiver control, no light, some buttons a bit small.

The Bottom Line: Good choice if you own Replay or Tivo and want a simple remote control with unified control over all the basic functions.

Pros: Reasonable price. 8 in 1.

Cons: Some small buttons,labels, no backlight. Too thin.

The Bottom Line: Recommended for DVR, TIVO, ReplayTV users, and affordable. Too many buttons but complete. Rare 8 in 1. A future version with info screen a must. It accepted AC remote functions!!

Pros: Handles Tivo; Easy to set up; low price

Cons: Feels fragile, buttons are small; button labels are hard to read

The Bottom Line: For the price it is a good choice and it gets the job done. But its not flashy at all.....

Pros: very light and thin, but so what?

Cons: NOT ENOUGH MEMORY
