Anyone ever have an experience with these things? I saw a "Product Watch" commercial on my Tivo recently about this, and of course, it looks cool in the commercial.

I also have this remote, and also bought it after seeing Tivo's commercial. It is easy to set-up but I would have liked it better if there was a way to tweak the configuration without having to go back into the web app.

You can configure whether devices stay on or off, so if things are switching off when they shouldn't, this is fixable.

Also, re: changing channels slowly, I also found this to be true. But, you can also hold the button down and it goes into 'fast mode'. i.e. press once, it is slow to change channel / volume / whatever. Press and hold, and after a pause, it changes them rapidly.

Edit to ask:
"Deep in the configuration" = where is this?

Also, if the desired effect did not actually happen, the Help key cycles through the steps again, in case a signal was missed. I have found that switching TV inputs often leaves it on the wrong selection, pressing Help once fixes it. A little annoying, but an easy fix.

This might depend on if you are used to or want Tivo-like layout?
