Hi,
Just started using the universal remote control Kameleon 8 from Oneforall.
Its excellent & what a great value for money!!!!!!!!!.
i hv presently 6 devices:
1.Philips lcd
2.Philips upscaling dvd player
3.Sony dvd player
4.Tata Sky set top box
5.Denon AV receiver
6.LG DVD/VCR Recorder
so wanted to go for a universal remote to remove the clutter.I narrowed down to 2 brands :Logitech & One for All.
i wanted to purchase the logitech harmony one (was priced reasonably in the US ;200$ which would amount to Rs 10000 approx.) But the launch price in India was a shocker Rs 18499!!!!!!!! i did not want to go for the cheaper Logitech 525 as it had nothing new to offer (no touch screen,no rechargeable dock etc.)
Thus i decided for the Kameleon 8 & what a right decision it has been.
It has an EL tactile touch panel which lights up on touching & looks really cool space age stuff.the keys light up according to the modes which is really convenient as the record,play,rew,ff functions are not available in the tv mode & vice versa. the respective key has to be pressed (remember its a touch panel) to use the function.personally i liked the tactile effect.
I configured all my devices in half an hour or so.there was a problem with the philips lcd code which was corrected the next day with a new code by the customer service.....prompt & quick.i also programmed a few macros yesterday (switching on the tatasky setop&tv together;dvd,amp&tv together)
The only minor problem which i hv faced till now is that you cannot customise the labels of the keys but as almost all the common keys are present so its not very inconvenient.it does not hv rechargeable batteries(powered by 4 alkaline AAA batteries) so will update later regarding its battery life.
And Now comes the clincher................the price: Rs 5999.You cannot really expect a touch panel full featured universal remote at this price!!!!!!!!
Three cheers to OneForAll.
