 |
|
I use a 8811 since two years ago with JP1, but it's scratched, broken and soiled.
I'm planning to replace this by 8820 or buy another 8811.
If I buy a 8820, I'm obligate to buy a JP1.x Cable.
If I buy a 8811, I have my JP1 Cable.
My questions are:
- Is the 8820 better than the 8811 ?
- Is it faster ?
- Does the 8820 have other advantages ?
- The macros on the 8820 are they faster? |

| 8820 has less keys. I have both ( and an 8910) I use the 8910 just because it has the extra keys. Don't know/care about the other stuff.[/code] |

Yes, the 8820 is a JP1.2 remote.

Well, it uses the latest UEI technology (flash memory) and has a more current code library.
If it is, it's probably not noticeable to most users.

That remains to be seen. I don't think it's been expoited to its full potential yet (i.e. there's no extender for it).

Not noticeably so.

The only advantage the 8820 has over a non-extended 8811, is the capability of macros on device keys.

With the price of flash memory these days, I'm wondering why a $15-25 remote can't have pleany of memory to learn every button in every device category.
I mean, if I can get a 1GB (8Gb) usb flash drive, packaged, at walmart, for $13.47, then i'm sure a 256KByte (2Gb) chip can't be all that much.
Ah, nice to dream eh?
Oh, I know, how about a remote with a SD/MMC or other type of flash memory slot?
Damn, I better stop.  |
