Remote Shoppe is dedicated to Remote Controls

Apparently this review was first published just over a month ago but we just caught it and it's worth a look. Not only do they take a good look at the Universal Remote Control MX-980, there are also plenty of comparisons to URC''s older models and the Logitech Harmony ONE.

The MX-980 is a fantastic remote, but it doesn't come cheap—the list price is $600, and the MRF-350 is an additional $250. The light switches and dimmers are $150 each, so using the remote to its full potential reaches four figures. In addition, if you don't feel comfortable programming it yourself, you can add an additional few hundred dollars for programming costs.

Overall, the MX-980 is the best remote I've ever used. Programming it isn't for the faint of heart, but it's possible to accomplish with time and patience. And once it's set up, it works flawlessly for everyone in the house—even the babysitter. If you're looking for complete control of your home-theater system, be sure to consider the MX-980. It's worth every penny.
