    Not like Evotel is a genuine manufacturer anyway. The TV's just a badge job.

    Not necessarily helpful for the op, but you had me grinning :)

    I totally agree, probably the best small bit of AV kit I've ever bought, especially as it cuts down the remote clutter from 7 or 8, to one (well two as I haven't got round to programming in a couple of barely used functions from one of my devices).

    Hardly a serious suggestion on a money-saving site either, it's ultra expensive.

    I did until my wife stood on it and broke the LCD screen. Still works but you cannot see the buttons on the LCD part so its a bit of a memory test of where each of the functions are and which screen you are technically on :)

    Definitely an INTUITIVE remote then ?:D

    Not really given you can pick up some of the Harmony models for little more than a half decent "normal" all4one remote :)
    I think I paid about £25 for a five device Harmony, and £35 for my 15 device one in the sale.

    The all singing and dancing full touchscreen ones do tend to cost a heck of a lot though (IIRC £100-200).

    Which is why I've never upgraded from my ancient One For All URC8040.
    Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.
