I'm considering buying the Radio Shack 14-1994 remote but just want to make sure it is identical to a Cinema 7 URC7800.

Physically, it appears better.

BTW the 14-1994 is on sale for $29.95 until the end of December.
Considering the fact that the URC-7800 costs $24.95 at Circus City when not on sale, I'd definitely get the enhanced RS version given the choice.

I have both for the moment, and I am probably going to keep the URC7800 for one reason: The volume punch through feature to the Receiver. On the 15-1994 this feature doesn't work to the receiver. I've tried fooling it by first remapping, then using advanced codes, and finally learning the receiver volume keys to the TV device, then using the 993 punch through to the TV device. Didn't work though. Without this feature I've maxed out both areas of memory reprogramming the volume keys in every device I use. With the URC7800, I still have ten learning keys and 9 advanced keys left over for other equipment (a second vcr and a dish system next year). If anybody has a solution to this please post a solution. I'd keep the 15-1994 then.

My 1994 arrived yesterday and I compared it to the Cinema 7 last night. My system, with the exception of the TV, is behind me and I need a remote with a broad IR signal. The Cinema 7 gave me that. I can point the Cinema 7 at the ceiling (Actually, I'm never even aware that I'm pointing it) and it works fine. The 1994 has a much narrower beam and I have to turn and point it directly at the components. Awkward and unacceptable. Other than that it has the same features as the Cinema 7 and handles all of the advanced codes and learning functions that the Cinema 7 does. Sadly, neither will operate my Sony 50ES receiver's surround. Other's here have preferred the rather odd finish on the case but I find it slippery and uncomfortable. The backlighting is great but I've gotten used to the Cinema 7's button layout and really don't need the lighting after all. It's going back and I'll stay with the Cinema 7.
