Has anyone ever used any of them or does anyone know of any other remote within this price range.

Thanks

I don`t know the mosaic control but I do have the Kameleon 6. A great control very versatile in the buttons displayed for each device, got it off Ebay for £40

What devices are you using this with? I will be using it with my dvd player, Sky + and my stereo plus any future devices.

I`ve got the Kameleon 6 which controls my Sony TV, Pioneer DVD player and Yamaha amp. Very impressed, with the exception of an annoying buzz when it is operating.

My personal opinion is stay away from the £80 one like the plague, I bought mine from Richer Sounds 6mths ago spent 3full days trying to get it to work and lost! It went back with a full refund. I have an LG TV, Sony Home Cinema, Sky and Awai Video and it only worked the Sky.

Haven`t used the other one so cant comment.

Did you just have to point the two remotes next to each other press each button and it shows on the screen? Because if it does..I`m interested. The other one I had you had to put in specific codes.

Please let me know.

Cheers

I owned the Mosaic remote as well and got rid of it after a few weeks as it just ate batteries !


I can`t recommend it at all.

As for the Kameleon one watch out as once you lay it down as its very hard to find ......!

:D
