5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Product initially, 15 Jan 2007

Disappointing in the long run,

Have to revisit this review, I ended up having to throw this remote away recently as many of the white central buttons just stopped working. It was never abused, dropped anything like that just regular usage. At this price I would expect this remote to last for several years not just a couple therefore I would not longer be able to recommend it.

When it was working it certainly did the job well, but doesn't look lke it was built to last.

No longer recommended.

P.S. I would drop the star rating to 2 but can't seem to when editing this...

Hi there,

I had one of the older model remotes from One For All before so had a good idea what to expect. I think this product is a gem I have reduced 7 Remotes to One. The display, asthetics and functionality are all excellent. The manual is easy to follow covering all the main things you'll likely need to do with the remote and customer service were very prompt both via email and telephone at answering my queries.

Minor issues would be that I had to contact customer services to get codes for some devices that have been commercially available for over a year now, in my opinion these should have been on this remote when received. My only other grumble would be that there is a very slight buzz off the remote when the display is lit, its only audible at a close range and in general the display is off i.e. it only lights when you press a button so its not major enough to be any real source of disappointment for me.

I have read others say that it is battery hungry this may be so, but I'm confident it will still be much more economical than running several different remotes and keeping their batteries up to date.

Highly recommended.

1.0 out of 5 stars Buttons stop working, 24 Aug 2010

This review is from: One For All Kameleon 8 in 1 Remote Control with Learning Features (Electronics)
At first the URC 8305 was a wonderful device - it did all I wanted apart from not being able to set the useful part of the Sky+ menu as default, but I can live with this. Unfortunately, the buttons have stopped working properly. The manufacturer was quite helpful, saying that putting a piece of cloth under the button contacts would clean them. It sort of did, but I still have to use a grip of iron to make the buttons work. Now the play control (a pad not a button) has started to misbehave. I have to press pause twice to make rewind or fast forward stop.

Another quirk is that it eats batteries, and I found out a bizarre cause, or at least part of it: if you leave it near a desktop fluorescent lamp, it turns the display on as if you had pushed a button.

All in all, it was ok, but seems not to have any staying power. I can't see anywhere in the manual how to dismantle it for cleaning and I'm not about to start prying bits of it open in case I damage it. Like a chinese puzzle, the solution is there somewhere, but I can't be bothered to look for it. I'm just going to buy a universal remote from another manufacturer.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a great piece of kit!, 23 Mar 2007
By 
Dobbsy (London, England) - See all my reviews
I was a bit dubious that I could get this to imitate all of the functions on every remote that I have and was nearly stumped by my V+ one. However I have now completely rid my sofa arm of the 7 remotes that were stacked on top of it and replaced them with this single glowing beauty.
I couldn't find a preset that worked with all the functions on my V+ box so I found one that did almost all of them and then programmed the rest on to buttons of my choice in one simple manouever. I'd say it's actually easier to navigate as well. I also have another remote for my HDMI switch box which I was convinced I'd never get to work as there was no preset but hey presto I just made one up ! Sweet!
I am smiling broadly from ear to ear over this gift of a device. A must have.
