One for All URC7880 Universal Smart Remote Control up to 8 Devices with Free Setup App - Easy Learning Feature - Infrared Connectivity Technology and 3 Shortcut App Keys – Black

I am quite surprised the best feature of the remote isn't mentioned.Called "Activity" (note the center of the remote), this is a "punch through" system, with a better design!"Punch through", for those who don't know, allows a button to take control of a specific device, regardless what device is selected. For example, if "punch thru" is set to a soundbar, TV volume changes the soundbar volume, not the TV volume. It's a great feature to have using multiple devices.Once two devices are set up, the Activity of those devices is automatically applied. No coding needed. The Activity button will select the proper input devices based on what devices are in use.It's not perfect, but it does work very well for basic control. I have an Oppo player, Samsung soundbar, and Sony TV, and by selecting the activity with all three devices, the soundbar automatically takes control of the volume.It will take a little bit of time to get the hang of Activity, but within a day, it should be second nature. It all depends on what devices are currently in use, and this is where the icons come in. Select "Movie" if the BD player is in use. Select "Music" if a receiver is being used (which will take control of play, pause, etc).Adding to the basic pre-defined lists are the options to make your own. Very well done!As anyone with an Oppo player knows, finding a universal remote to work well with it is impossible. Well, for starters, most universal remotes don't have a Subtitle option.With the learning ability, this is easily rectified. I used the 4 colored buttons to control basics such as subtitles, output display, eject, and repeat chapter. It took less than a minute to program all 4 options.Comments indicating this was "difficult" to program probably didn't read the instructions. There is only 5 seconds open to make a selection, or the current option is turned off. It is recommended to plan out what features to program while in learning mode, but it's as straight forward as any other learning remote.Most of the codes do bring in basic functions, including the Oppo, but legacy systems will need to be programmed.One caveat: be sure the remotes are nearly touching! Any gap between them will cause the read to fail and the attempt will have to be repeated. It seems the remote is sensitive to white light in the room.I haven't had any issues learning legacy codes, but none of my equipment is older than 25 years.I hope this review helps, especially if you're looking for a punch through system.Thanks for reading and have a great day.

This is an excellent remote for 2 reasons: 1: contact points metal rather than soft rubber contacts that wear out fast!2. Easy learning for old remotes and special feature remotes! The one BAD thing is that they have 3 ir transmitters which splash over to set off other devices. I took mine apart and removed the 2 side ir to make remote more directional. That fixed it.

like all of you, I have at least a dozen useless remotes in my cabinet - I keep trying them and abandoning them. I have a 20 foot distance between my couch and the sensor on my TV, which then transmits back through another 40 feet of cat5 to the cable box. Every one of my other remotes requires me to be within 10 feet of the Eye and must point the remote directly at the Eye to extend through the Cat5. This remote is bizarre and almost like an RF because it's the only one to reach across the 20 feet effortlessly and I don't even have to point it directly at the Eye. Additionally, all the learning buttons worked perfectly - I do all Learning buttons cause I'm a nut for customizations. Plus this is not another quick attempt by a non-American company - URC remotes are good quality and this one is so low priced, you can't go wrong. The only negative is the buttons are not backlit.

Have owned a One For All URC7880 since 2022. Bought @ Best Buy for $49.95. Works great, was easy to program & operates all of my devices TV, STB, BLU, AUD, DVD/VCR, Game, Media, S.Bar. I recently ordered 2 of these for $25.00. Thought I was getting a deal but much to my surprise, both of these were defective! Came from a company named Ebargain World. Not sure if they're related to One For All?Remote 1 would only toggle to TV & would not toggle to any of the other 7 devices so was not able to program anything but my LG Smart TV.Remote 2 would only toggle to TV, STB, BLU, AUD, Media but none of the other devices i.e. DVD, Game, S.Bar. Was able to program my LG Smart TV, DTV-STB but not able to program my Samsung-Blu even though I entered every available code more than once. After that, I gave up even trying to program my Toshiba DVD/VCR, Bose-AUD. Very disappointed. Not sure if these were closeouts or seconds?I'll either buy from Best Buy @ full price or try a different brand.

The basic functions of this universal remote are good. Setup is pretty easy, particularly if your devices are "major brands." The programming of macros is a problem and so I returned it after many failed attempts.The documentation is pretty simple, and there appears to be no other source from the web to provide greater clarity. As a software engineer for many years, the adage "Documentation is never wrong, but seldom helpful" certainly applies here. Not only did it reference keys which didn't exists (A,B,C), but also didn't mention the color keys (Red, Green, Yellow, Blue); I assume these were upgraded from the prior letter keys.The programming interface is a bit clunky and subject to go out-of-whack when you hit certain keys. I was hoping to program an "Application" key with a macro but, although the documentation says this works, hitting the key throws it off. Also, it is not clear if one should hit the "OK" key after selecting a "Device" or just wait. Likewise, does an "Up Arrow" count as a keystroke or only the choosing of an input, or other application. Many questions go unanswered.The doco was most likely written from the standpoint of someone who uses this (probably a developer), instead of someone unfamiliar. It would help if you gave this remote to a novice, let them ask "stupid" questions, and then write the doco. Just saying.I was a great price, and I shouldn't expect too much. But it is not yet a replacement for the Logitech Harmony remote.
