The good: Controls 10 devices; easy, wizard-based programming plus ability to learn from other remotes; large, superbright screen with 10 contextual hard buttons; as many as 10 customized channel guides with familiar network logos; plenty of buttons, including DVR specific keys.
The bad: Placement of video transport keys should be higher; advanced users will lament the absence of task-based control macros; may be too heavy or bulky for some tastes.
The bottom line: Philips' superb Prestigo SRU8010 will appeal to TV-centric users looking for a universal remote that's both affordable and easy to set up.
