Contour 8 Universal Remote Control – Operates 8 devices (TV Freeview Blu-ray Media streamer IR Game and Audio) - Learning feature - Works with all brands - Black – URC1280

I purchased a Logitech harmony to begin with, which was very good hardware wise, and a very nice remote to hold, really good use of materials. However the Logitech functions as activities, meaning that whenever I changed from watching TV to e.g. watching sky, or changing input to my htpc, the TV and receiver switched off and then on again. The physical remote did not have the functionality to just work as a simple universal remote. This one for all works very well as a simple universal remote, although the build is very basic, but very good for the price. Paired fine with all my devices, and keys are programmable. It's infrared only. With my Yamaha receiver, the power key does not work. The instruction book is very detailed. Very good for the price.

Now the obvious choice for a universal remote, the Logitech Elite, is off the market and the servers seem to be going off line, I found myself looking for a replacement. This is nice and cheap so I thought I’d give it a try. It does the basic job pretty well, the learning function is a bit fiddly to use, but the general usage is good, however all of these remotes, I also have their more expensive version, have some odd omissions, like no dedicated eject button - a pain with a multi-region Blu-ray, UHD and a CD player. It’s easy enough to repurpose of of the coloured buttons or whatever suits you, but you’d better be able to remember which one you used.

I've had similar multi platform remotes in the dim and distant past with limited success. However spotted the One for all product and thought I'd give the technology another go. It's worth reading the instructions carefully but after an hour or so I've now got my LG tv, Humax Freesat, Humax Freeview, Yamaha amp, Sony Bluray running well from one remote. If you find the odd button(aux 1-3 on my amp) or even a whole device (second Humax box on different remote channel) doesn't work correctly then the button learn feature is fabulous but follow the instructions carefully and point the original and One for all remotes fairly closely together. Overall - great piece of kit.

My TV is around 8 years old now, and the remote is starting to show its age. Rather than buy a replacement OEM one, I went for a One-4-All multi-remote so I don't have to scrabble around for the right remote for the relevant device. Set up is easy - push a button, push another button until a light blinks twice, enter a code, and see if the buttons do what you expect. There are hundreds of codes for almost every manufacturer. I was lucky - the first code I chose worked albeit with some functions not mapped to buttons. This is where the learn function comes in. If not all your OEM remote functions are mapped, you can "teach" the One-4-All the missing ones. Again, this is easy - button, flashes, code, push the button you want to map to, push the button on the OEM you want to be mapped, push first button until light flashes again. It took me a couple of minutes to map everything and it's all done. I even found codes for the amp, the freeview box, and the XBox 360 Great price from Amazon, but remember to buy batteries - none are supplied. You'll need 2xAA

Says it works for all TVs but couldn’t get it working on mine. Instructions are easy to read once you find the right ones but there’s different instructions for different ways to connect it to your tv and none of the ways worked. The tv is a few years old but didn’t think it would be a problem. Probsbly works better for newer or smart TVs

Pros - I can now run ALL my AV kit from the one remote; no hunting for the others on the odd occasion I need them. - its actually easy to set up. - it looks and feels nicer than the Sky remote that I used to use. Its very similar to Panasonic ones. - the three programming modes give great flexibility: a) find the code for the device and enter it directly (I used for Panasonic TV, Sky+HD, Apple TV), b) search for the code (I had to use for Panasonic Blueray, and Panasonic sound bar), and c) learning mode to program individual buttons for devices (used for an unbranded HDMI switch, and for Sky/TV power - see below) Cons (minor) - the set up instructions are a bit complicated, but if you follow them to the letter, and make sure the light flashes when its supposed to, it works. - it doesnt seem to do sequences, so I cant turn my sound bar on and off with the TV and Sky box. I HAVE managed to do the same as the Sky remote and combine TV and Sky, by using the learning function to copy the Sky power button function which CAN be programmed to do both together, but cant combine the sound bar as well. So to power off I now have to press three buttons (big deal!). EDIT: This DOES allow macros, so it is possible to program three devices to power on and off with one button (I use for TV, Sky and soundbar). It's not in the documentation, but is listed in the FAQ on the All-For-One support website. I’m so happy, I bought another for SWMBO.

Lost the remote down your couch again! Well I can't help with that! But seriously if you have lost the remote for permanent and need a replacement! Look no further! This was bought for a friend who had a Unknown brand of TV "Techwood" I believe and was in desperate need of a new remote. So the All for One Contour remote was perfect to meet the task of gaining control back of his set.. Has multiple ways to get the remote set-up on his TV including just pointing it at the old remote if the buttons have given up you don't need it as a straight swap. Also codes to type in and other simple options which give this remote superior functionality. The proof is in the pudding (so to speak) in that he still uses it today with an "Techwood" unbranded TV and most of the buttons do work! Too conclude if any of this rings true for you then what are you waiting for! Accept no substitute!

First Class Recommended A++++

Cette télécommande universelle est géniale ! Elle fonctionne parfaitement avec ma télé, la configuration a été très simple et rapide. Tous les boutons essentiels répondent bien, et la prise en main est agréable. C’est exactement ce qu’il me fallait pour remplacer ma télécommande d’origine. Fiable, pratique, et à un très bon prix. Je recommande sans hésiter !

Would not control an RCA tv

Très bonne télécommande: très grande liste de codes pour les différentes marques. Je n'ai même pas eu à introduire un code pour ma TV Samsung et pour mon lecteur Blu-Ray Sony. J'ai trouvé le code pour mon récepteur satellite Optex. Marche à la perfection ! Je recommande vivement !

Il telecomando è molto versatile. Ho trovato facilmente i codici per TV, DVD player e Amplificatore. Il media player (Zidoo) non aveva un codice corrispondente ed ho utilizzato l'apprendimento per configurare tutti i tasti presenti sull'originale.

Edit 10.01.2021: nach über 2 Jahren funktioniert die Fernbedienung noch wie am ersten Tag, dafür erhöhe ich von ursprünglich 4 Sternen auf 5 Sterne. Einfach Top zu diesem Preis. :) Vorab: Ich bin von einer Harmony 350 auf diese hier gewechselt. Da ich es einfach nicht hinnehmen kann für ein "Qualitätsprodukt" was kein Jahr ohne Probleme durchhält mehr als 10€zu zahlen und schon gar nicht 49UVP der Harmony. Also habe ich mich für diese hier entschieden, knapp über 10€ alle Features dabei. die Haptik ist sogar besser als bei der Harmony. Die Einrichtung klappt wunderbar und die Codes meiner Geräte (LG Fernseher / LG Blu-Ray-Player / Yamaha AV-Receiver / Technisat Sat-Receiver) wurden erkannt und alle wichtigen Funktionen gut belegt. Was auch gut ist, das man einem der Geräte eine Master Lautstärke geben kann, so dass, egal ob man im Fernseh- oder Sat- Modus ist, der AV-Receiver die Lautstärke regelt. Kleiner Nachteil warum es nur 4 anstatt 5 Sterne gibt, leider gibt es keine Master-Taste die man belegen kann dass z.B. 3 Geräte gleichzeitig an-bzw. auszuschalten gehen. Das war schon ein kleiner Vorteil der Harmony, da der Preis aber hier nur knapp über 10€ beträgt ein zu verschmerzender Punkt. Was ich nach der kurzen Zeit noch nicht sagen kann, ob die Haltbarkeit gewährleistet ist. Sollte diese hier aber mehr als 2 Jahre halten, ist sie schon besser als das "Qualitätsprodukt" von Logitech.
