    Never ever used the VU- R/C's.
    See my footer for a good alternative.

    The ultimo remote is for vanity, the duo/uno programmable for sanity.

    My ultimo remote went straight back into the box on the first day.

    What is the IR sensor on the actual box like?

    My duo you can use the remote even when the box is facing the other way i.e. the back.

    Can you do that on the ultimo with one of those universal remotes or harmony remotes?

    It is important for me as my box is situated at quite an obscure angle from where i sit and i really appreciate the duo ability to change channel even when no direct line of sight is there.

    Please ultimo owners with harmony or universal remotes let me know if its possible

    Thanks

    Using the harmonies listed in my footer there's no problem whatsoever with the Ultimo; I can even shine the R/C to the opposite direction and the box still reacts normally.

    With the Vu+ universal remote (uno remote) you can point it anywhere like you can with the duo.

    It's only the small Ultimo remote you have to point directly at the box.

    Another reason why my Ultimo remote went back in the box after 4 minutes. i use a harmony 650 now and a Uno remote occasionally.

    Hi,

    I have to admit that the new remote is a real disappointment. Even 10 degrees off line, and no command is received.

    It must be the remote as the IR receiver works perfect with the original remote when I change the Remote code.

    The originals are available from eBay for £12 delivered. I've just bought one.

    Cheers, Lee

    Yes they are clone remotes from Ebay m8 for that price, buy the one from WOS £25 i think I paid, now I can change channels on my TV and use it to adjust volume on the TV, worth the money alone for that...lol, my fingers are just too fat for the Ultimo remote :-)

    Better buy a Harmony: far much more flexibility, and for all devices you may have.
    I never use any device-R/C at all.

    yes i totally agree, i never understood people paying upto and above £120 for as remote control and i certainly would not but i bought both a harmony 600 and 650 on a logitech blemished box deal and there all i ever use now.

    For £12 they have to be worth a try. I would never buy a clone box, but I'm willing to try a remote control.

    I have a harmony 600, but I'm so used to the layout of the original Vu+ remote, that I don't find the harmony works for me.

    Cheers, Lee
