Universal Renote and Showstopper

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.video.ptv.replaytv (More info?)

I'm looking to get a universal remote to control my DVD Player, Surround
Sound System, TV and Showstopper. I have my eye on this one:

http/www.pricegrabber.com/search_getprod.php/masterid=1571749

The MX-500.... Does anyone have any experience with this remote and a
ReplayTV (or better yet, with a Showstopper)?

Thanks!

While we are talking about remote controls, this is a great cheap
remote from Amazon. I have 2 and love them. If you buy 2 then
shipping would be free. $12.99 each.

Hmm.... Looks interesting. Great Price! But all of the reviews mention
Tivo as the PVR. Can you verify for me whether it will work with a
Showstopper?

Thanks!

URC-6131 Works perfectly with my ReplayTV.
The book lists "replaytv" and "sonic blue".

Another choice with ability to learn is the following.
This one is urc 8811 with learning function. $19.84

I tried the MX-500 and really didn't like it. I've had much better success
with the Logitech/Harmony 659.

Were there any particular things about it you didn't like? What?

Do you have a link for that?

I also have one of these and am quite happy with it! Shop around...better
prices are out there.

Well, I bought the URC-8811, and haven't figured out how to get to
control my Panasonic Showstopper. Can anyone provide me the correct code?

Thanks!
