Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of TiVo C00210 TiVoGlo Premium Remote Control, BlackCustomer Review: Glo Remote is a go for me Summary: 5 Stars
I finally purchased one of these and couldn't be happier. I've been a Tivo user since they first came out and am on my third box now. As such, the standard Tivo "peanut" remote has become like an extension of my hand. I never have to look at it, every button is right where I expect it to be.
Last year I bought a new television and home theater system that didn't have remote codes for the standard Tivo remote.
I bought three different universal remotes and they all worked, but I didn't like they way they feel. I don't tend to return items, so they're all just sitting in an end table.
After unboxing the "Premium Glo" remote and finding 4 AAA batteries to throw in it, I had my TV's power and input as well as my receiver's power and volume programmed in literally under a minute. I programmed my receiver's power to the mute button on the Glo remote. I still need the receiver remote around, but I don't have to touch it to turn everything on and start watching TV/Tivo. Excellent!
The buttons are spaced slightly different than the original Tivo remote, but I got used to that in a few days. The button feel is also a little different but I like it. Yes the buttons glow after you touch one when it's dark. I could care less and I'm glad you can turn that feature off.
If there were Cons, this would be them: I don't have that many gadgets that take AAA's so I tend not to keep those around, now I'm going to have to. The shiny rather than textured surface of the plastic attracts fingerprints, not that I care, but maybe that's important to you. The button placement and feel might be a negative to someone who REALLY, REALLY doesn't want a change from the original Tivo remote. It's @ $50, which is expensive for a non-universal remote, meaning, it doesn't fully replace all my remotes.
I like it, it nets out to taking one more remote(TV) off the coffee table, and I get to keep my Tivo remote shape, size, and feel. That's worth $50 for me, and if it's the same for you, you'll like it too.
Enjoy!
