I was reading and I was thinking (Yeap, that gets me
into trouble)

I quote from whe web site...

This type of hi-tech “Universal” remote controls also has problems:





1. It can be easily lost just like any other remote control 2. Takes a long time to program all your remotes into one 3. Could be pretty expensive, in particular the ones with LCDs 4. Easy to damage especially if it is dropped on the floor 5. Not simple to use when switching between different devices 6. Software imbedded into the remotes could crash any time 7. Simply cannot replace all the features of the original remotes




Now, it shows a picture of a Phillips Pronto Neo on the
site but it is a "general" statement. So I have to look
at these three specific claims:

5. Not simple to use when switching between different devices. (Not Simple according to whom?)


6. Software imbedded into the remotes could crash any time. (This one here could be perceived as slander
against any company that makes a software driven
remote and unless you can prove this to be true you
could be "liable" for slander.)


7. Simply cannot replace all the features of the original remotes. (For some universal remotes this may
be true but this holds no water against "all" universal
remotes)
