one for all remote control

[badaman]

I'm after a remote control that controls all devices such as tele/dvd/hifi/sat/cable etc etc can anyone point me in the right direction - really like the Kameleon range.

I bought last years Kameleon from maplins for 9.99, about 3 weeks ago

I had to go in the local branch for it

This Model

and i paid £14.99 for that exact one too.

had to send it to factory to get re-programmed for my Pioneer DVD player though, as it wasn't compatible. (freebie from one4all)

nice remote, and looks smart

I bought mine (4 in 1) from America, cost me a fiver and its wicked, pity they cost more in the UK. Unfortunately that aint gonna help you.

Check out Argos as they have some around the tenner mark.

One thing to note though, make sure the remote you buy supports your HD Ready tele (thats if you got one). Almost guaranteed to work on Analogue, but one of my older all in one remotes doesnt work on my lcd hd ready tele.

i know its a bit more expensive but i have got a similar one to this one and you can program it to do just about anything i managed to make my dvd recorder region free using it.

Thanks to all who replied.
Rawsy I like that! and for only £20 seems a good buy - have you had any experiences with the batteries ie do they wear out quickly...

-Badaman

 

[Busta_Gonad]

Its the same one, and yes the batteries do go quite quick if you leave the motion sensor on, I've turned mine off and it just comes on with a touch of the pad now

I'm looking at the One For All KAMELEON 6 V2 @ £30 goto go collect from leicester, and they only can reserve for today, I'll get my work colleague to collect over the weeknd. Can't wait till I get it ;-)

I use rechargeable batteries in mine. I got a uniross charger plus 4 batteries at maplins sometime ago for £4.99. Works out cheaper in the long run. They do last quite a while on remotes, well on mine they do.

How about a Logitech Harmony? I love mine. Bit expensive but they do a lot.

 

[marty4k]

They have a 4in1 remote in poundland at the moment....

Its err £1, cant comment on the quality as I didnt get one.

Maybe worth a try, for that price you can use it as a doorstop!

Just got a Harmony 525 from amazon for around £40. Different class of remote all together. A little tricky to get running 100% perfect but well worth it.

 

[badaman]

I did have a look at the harmony range - quite expensive tho;-) anyhow thanks to all for the input I'll let byou know when I get my KAMELEON 6 V2.

I'd be tempted to buy this if I can get it to learn the codes for:

a. Playstation 3 (perhaps not if PS3 is blutooth)
b. Dreambox 600c
c. Hyundai ImageQuest 32" LCD TV.
