 Price to Performance? Unmatched! December 4, 2003
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
After straining my brain to decide between this URC6131 and the high-end, fancy glowing URC9960 model (the "Kameleon"), my checkbook tipped the scale in favor of the basics. Just looking at the "Kameleon," I suspected it was going to be more trouble than it's worth, and the comments regarding sketchy behavior and battery drain helped me feel better about my purchase. It was the right call. With a completely hodgepodge setup (Panasonic TV, APEX DVD player, Toshiba VCR, Sony receiver, and a TiVo), I had this universal remote working in 10 minutes... including the neat 'power all' feature that makes my living room feel like a space ship coming to life. And considering it costs almost $40 to replace a factory TiVo remote, this URC6131 would have been a steal even to control just one of the six it promises. If you want a conversation piece, I'm sure the "Kameleon" will look great on your coffee table. If you just want something that works, and costs less than some DVDs, the 6-in-one URC6131 is a winner.

I lost my DirecTV Receiver with TiVo's remote and was told to check out the URC 6131! Very cool! It has replaced all the remotes in my home theater setup, except my HD receiver. I'm told you can send your remote for free to One For All and they'll add the needed remote codes. Well worth the cash!It's wonderful for those with TiVos too, as it has the thumbs buttons. The buttons of the remote are laid out very nicely and every function I use on all my individual components are on this remote. I'll be snagging a second one for my den setup here too too.

I don't have many components to my "media center," so take this review with a grain of salt. I have an RCA TV, Toshiba DVD player, and a TIVO Series II DVR. Honestly, I opened this remote from the plastic casing, and it worked with all three immediately. I had to do some tweaking with the remote to make the EXIT button go to the Live TV option, like the TIVO remote has. And also, I had to search for a code to make the INFO button work as the INFO button on the TIVO remote had. I changed the Master Power option, and volume controls, and voila! Happiness galore!
I am so excited about this. And for those of you who are comfortable with the TIVO remote and all of it's functions and buttons, this remote is easy to make the switch to. You don't have to search for the buttons, you fingers just find them, and that's always a plus when it comes to universal remotes.
Oh yeah, now I don't have to switch to my TV remote when TIVO is recording something that I don't feel like watching at the moment, I can just switch inputs, and I can watch my normal cable programs! Yaaay....I now live in a "one-remote" household!
UPDATE: I recently bought another URC 6131 for my bedroom Philips tv, TiVo DT DVR, and also a Samsung dvd/vcr combo. I set up the tv and TiVo (and other convienient buttons usings advanced codes) almost instantly. However, I am unable to get my Samsung dvd/vcr combo to work properly. I have used every Samsung code possible, and it just will not work. I don't know how this remote works on dvd/vcr combos. It would be interesting to know if anyone with a combo has gotten the remote to work properly. Other than that, I still am the biggest advocate for this remote! I still love it....and the price!

I had all but given up hope that I would ever find anything that would be an affordable replacement for both my Tivo remote and my off-brand Akai television. Earlier today I found some forum discussions that gave me renewed hope. I went out and bought this immediately.I had it up and running flawslessly with my Tivo, TV, VCR, and XBox DVD player within 5 minutes. I am absolutely ecstatic! I can finally dump all of my old remotes! Take a look at the keypad - it has the familiar Tivo "thumb" buttons and is very practically laid out. Also, it's worth mentioning that this company, although their products are priced very low, has a reputation for standing behind their products. My cable guy told me the manufacturer rep visits them regularly and is always adding compatibility with new equipment. I also understand that if you have something that they don't yet have a code for, you can send in your remotes and they will create a new code set and upgrade your unit. What more can you ask for? This is the best $18 I ever spent. Woohoo!
Works great with all my devices August 24, 2006

My remote went out on my Series one Sony SVR-2000 Tivo box and a replacement remote was $99 new and $78 used. Forget that. This remote works with my TIVO, Sony TV, Phillips Stereo, General Instrument cable box, Sony DVD player, and even my JVC VCR. Setup took 2 minutes for 6 devices!!! Best money I ever spent.
