I am down to just two of RCA RCRP05BR remotes. Would like to stock up on an alternative JP1 learning remote with macro since these are now hard to find. Any affordable and nice looking ones ?

Thanks, looks very similar to the RCRP05BR, but does also do macros ?

Yes it does.

But that last link looks slightly different than the US version. Hopefully it?s the same internally. Otherwise we might have to make a new RDF for it.

Those are sold currently in Walmart's in the US, and it is not UEI made remote so isn't jp-1 remote.

Best Buy Canada has the URC-3660 for $39.99 pricey Compared to what we are used to paying for it

I'm in canada and have the urc-3660 and HAD the inteset remote but was branded insignia. All the layout of it is the same. I liked the Insignia much better then the urc-3660 just because of the layout of the buttons.

Here is the link to the Inteset:

I agree the Insignia/Inteset INT-422 remote is nice I have several of them
But the URC-3660 is much more powerful in the Macro department
Except for the Rew and FFW buttons you can put a Normal Macro, Real Time Macro Or a Multi Macro on virtually every key including the Back light key.
And if you disable the Activities buttons you can also put Macro's on them.
