Programmable Remotes

If you're tired of senselessly pointing your universal remote in all directions while frantically flipping through a poorly translated manual for the proper programming codes, you might want to take a look at these PC-programmable universal remotes. You'll pay a bit more but these are definitely the most versatile remotes out there, and can you really put a price on convenience.

 
Programmable remote controls have the ability to be programmed via a personal computer. These remote’s come with software that you load onto your PC, and a cable (serial or USB) that connects the remote to the computer. Depending on the remote, you can customize button text, backgrounds, macros, and many other features. Some models will sport a combination of hard buttons and a touch screen, while others may be 90% screen, and 10% hard buttons. Pricing can range from $199-$999 for consumer-oriented models.
