TiVo C00210 TiVoGlo Premium Remote Control, Black Great Remote… – Alice Roberts – Memphis, TN United States
We have a toddler and needed a replacement–this is better than the original TIVO remote–but some of the buttons are in different places…
I have been a TiVo user for many years, we own 4 units, 2 HD. Frankly I’ve always wanted a Glo because of the backlight but could never justify it for that reason alone. Recently I upgraded my AVR to the Sony STR-DN1000. Unfortunately the standard TiVo peanut will not work with this receiver (just doesn’t have the codes). Fortunately the Glo is a learning remote. I programmed the Glo to:
- run the TiVo (default, no programming necessary obviously)
- power on my Panasonic Plasma display
- volume the AVR
- set the INPUT button to switch the AVR to HDMI 1 (TiVo) and set the MUTE button (which I never use anyway) to HDMI 2 (my PS3)
That covers it for me.
As for the remote itself:
It’s considerably better than the standard TiVo remote. Why?:
– MUCH better buttons. The buttons have a more tactile feel with a slight positive click. No more mushy buttons. Even the TiVo button is improved.
– WEIGHT. Nice heft.
– SELECT button is now in the center of the directional pad, quite a bit handier than below as it is on the standard remote.
– BACKLIT! It’s not terribly bright but it’s pretty good. It’s also ambient light sensitive so it only turns on at night, no wasted batteries during the day. Contrary to what another reviewer said, the backlight function can be turned off.
– TEXTURE. The bottom half of the backside is textured which makes it easy to tell which way is up in the dark.
– POWER. As it’s predecessor, very powerful IR. I don’t understand why other remote manufacturers don’t do this. Point it at the ceiling or through a blanket, it will work.
Cons? Though it is a learning remote, it has few available buttons for learning as most the buttons are TiVo specific and cannot be programmed (Thumbs buttons, Aspect, etc.). That’s OK though, it has enough for what I want it to do. The price is also much too high. This should be tops. TiVo: C00210 The ultimate remote control for your TiVo box.
