I have been looking fro a remote with the most flexibility for under $300. And so far this is the model I have come up with. Does any one out there have any experience with it. Thanks ahead of time for the help.

i just purchase a rotel rr 990 and it seems to be pretty good. i tried the home theater prod. 8 and did not like it. i do not know how the rotle compares to others in its price range. but its easy to get it to learn and seems to do everything i need it to do. i use it for a dss dish, tv , reciever for suround sound and a vcr and i like it for that. the only thing i have not tried is to program it to control the vvolume off of the soround sound and not the tv when im using the dss dish. good luck.

Check out my post on the Palm Pilot. I owned the Rotel, and returned it for the Palm Pilot. Price of the Palm pilot is now $165. Add $40 for the software and booster, and you are just over $200. The Palm Pilot is far superior of a remote compared to the Rotel.

I have an RR990, and I find it to be a battery hog (3-4 weeks out of a set of Energizer Advanced) - granted it gets used a lot! I stuck two pieces of clear 1/4"x1/2" tape (actually from my Brother PT-PC P-touch printer) to the Vol Up and Channel Up buttons so I can feel them in the dark. I just slide my finger down a bit if I want to use the Down buttons. Works for me.
