525 remote

Been using mine for almost a year. Controlling 5 devices, Vista Media Centre (MS remote), DSTV tuner, Yamaha sound system,Pvision LCD TV and old Technics FM tuner quite nicely.
Only negative is that you have to be connected to the internet to config/program the remote! Battery life very good.

is this the one with the blue lcd screen that looks awesome?

I want one of those!!!!

yo JoeM - so you say this thing is a decent piece of hardware? Cool.

How do you control Vista Media Centre?

@ sdd

Yep I like it. It also fully WAF (Wife approval factor)
I have the MS usb remote contol and keyboard for VMC control. This allows me to change channels on DSTV decoder. The 525 is configed to switch on LCD and sound system with one button and then acts as the MS remote.
Configuring the 525 does take planning and a couple of attempts before you get it 100%. Am now trying to figure out how to get my aircon remote programmed into it.

with my 655 I just use the end to end method where you use the remote's built in ir receiver and copy the signal.

Great remotes.
