Pros: Will get most TVs, even older ones provided they support IR remotes :)
Has Menu buttons, INPUT, etc buttons.. this can be used for a good amount of control for your own sets.  In other words, it's what it shows - it does more than just turn the TV on or off.  The # keypad comes in handy as well.
Sends over 2 'sends' a second.
Comes with battery! :)  Thanks!
 
Cons: Not a wide range, needs to be pointed more less right at the TV, though with repeat rate, it's not too problematic.
There are many different programming modes, and the 1st one that seems to "work" may not be the one that can use the rest of the TV's feature.
Continue holding down the MUTE button, and see how many times unmutes, remutes, etc... until you find the right one.
I thought it would be smaller.
 
Other Thoughts: Get it.  Useful.  Not.. cheap, but still a good value.
 
Bottomline: BUY IT!

Pros: very easy to use and to adjust!!!
found my TV in less than 1 mim even that its "non-brand" tv and old enough.
comfortable and good design.
 
Cons: the volume button's are acting strange. for exemple:
+ = less volume
- = more volume...
not all the buttons are functional...
its not small enough for my Keychain...
 
Other Thoughts: its still good quality product and very good price!
 
Bottomline: very good price! dont think twice before buy!
the remote control came with short and understandable  instructions in english.

Pros: This is by far the easiest to program universal remote i've ever had, and i've tried everything from the early "enter numeric code by brand and complicated button combination" remotes, to windows mobile pdas with ridiculously short range, and this was the easiest to program and use, just push mute until the mute osd appears on your tv and that's it.
 
Cons: - You have to keep a pretty straight and short line of sight to the tv.
- Battery door doesn't close 100%, leaves 0.5mm gap, most probably this is just an annoyance and no biggy.
 
Other Thoughts: The build quality was excellent vs. price (same quality compared to other no-brand tv remotes around my house.)
 
Bottomline: It seems bigger than what it appears to be in the photos, but maybe it's just my impression, i wouldn't use it as a keychain but then again i wouldn't use a fanny pack either, to each their own.

Sweet Good range and function
