Being a little new to the game (been researching HT for about 6 months now) I feel as though I have a firm grasp on the things I need to know to invest in a system that I will be more than happy with thanks in large part to this website. I was tired of reading customer reviews, ppl talking about things they knew little to nothing about, but this site gave me what I needed, the why behind the what. Now to bring this post back on topic.
Universal remotes were low on my list to research, as I started with displays, then loudspeakers, then source components, then speakerwire/interconnects, now I am looking into remotes.
In the first impression section of the article, it is mentioned how cool this thing would be, however, at first glance, to me, it seems as though it may be far less impressive than the TX-1000 Mediu reviewed recently, which I was impressed by.
Thus my question, what advantages, if any, does this product appear to have over a product like the TX-1000 Medius? The price is about the same, and it doesn't appear to me, to have any additional functionality, and it is minus the huge LCD screen. So... please help educate a universal remote n00b such as myself. I would also like to know what arguments would be had for this product, as well as the TX-1000 over a much less expensive Logitech Harmony remote? Aside from the fact that these larger remotes are wicked cool looking.
Thanks in advance.
