 Posted: Wed May 03, 2006 12:11 pm Post subject: What is the "best" JP1 remote? |
 |
|
| I read the "FAQ: What is the best JP1 remote?" under JP1-General Forum but it was posted on 11/30/2003. Is there an update to it? If I want to buy one today, which should I go with? All I want to do is being able to power up one or more devices and have the TV select the proper input souce. For example, for DVD watch, I want the TV and DVD power up and the TV select the DVD as the input source. Thanks. |

I would recommend the URC-8910 as it lets you program macros to the device buttons even without using an extender. I sell these for $20 each, plus $4 shipping.

| How is battery life on an 8910 compared with an 8811? |

About the same, AFAIK. I don't think the LCD screens draw a whole lot of power.

| The battery life on a "good" remote should be less because you program more macros etc. onto it and use it more! My 8910 is a whole lot better than my Kameleon 8040 but it depends how much you use the backlight I suppose. Certainly no cause for complaints so far. |

| I normally get well over a year on my 8910s, I rarely use the backlight and surf moderately. My dad gets about 6 months on his, but he uses the backlight all of the time. |

Another newbie question. The one you sell has the JP1 pins on them already and I don't need to do any mod/addition to the remote, right?
Thank you |

You'll notice that it's listed under "JP1 Ready Remotes".

| What's the difference between the 8910 and 9910? Is it just the IR blaster? |

The RF extender and IR blaster. Otherwise identical - certainly identical from a JP1 programming point of view.
