I've seen a 1 device version that's about that price - make sure it's the 5 device version
I will concur with aldaweb on this. In Dixon's shop the urc 7555 5 in one is about £19.00p (can't remember the exact price) so £9.00p price on web site is probably not the same remote.
So after some research, I went for a Harmony 525 for my setup:
PVR9200-T
Denon DHT500-SD (actual dvd/av amp is an ADV-500SD )
Phillips 28" TV
My summary so far would be:
good value at £41 on Amazon - fancier Harmony models don't seem to me to offer enough exra for the higher prices
quite stylish looking but slightly flimsy feel, buttons rather squishy and dead feeling
truly awful setup software - the biggest downside, needing persistence and many retries
Overall, it's working and I'm happy with the choice. I've noted some specifics below though.
Ok, so the setup was very painful - mostly down to the PC client software seeming very unreliable. Lot's of freezes and lockups especially:
(1) when learning a new command, the first learn works, the 2nd locks up and means and Exit/Restart of the client
(2) when updating the remote, it often seems to get stuck in "checking for updates" cycle.
Late on in the process I switched to user the browser setup version that logitech host on their website - this seemed much better for (1) and a little better for (2)
Having said that, after 4 or 5 hours of persistence I have the remote working - and it's doing pretty much all I wanted.
Some specific setup points that added to the setup tasks:
as other Harmony uses have found with the 9200, I also need to reduce the key sends down to '1' to avoid key repeat problems
Several 9200 commands are not in the set provided in the Logitech database including: OPT+, Play List, Replay, Slow Motion, Advance, Games,
Although setup had my exact AV amp model, I still had to manually tell it how to switch AV inputs - which also meant figuring out how the Harmony mnemonic names matched the original remote buttons
Even though I told the s/ware I wanted audio control via my AV amp, I had to manually edit the config to Mute the TV on power up
The database had my exact TV model, but the Power On command setting was wrong if the TV was in "orange standby" i.e. just powered off. I had to manually change it to InputNext which powers on from any state.
Bizarrely, there are coloured TELETEXT buttons but no TEXT button itself. I mapped it to *
Less odd is no PlayList button, but # is free so I used this
I just received the below email from OFA with codes to program the URC-8206 for the Humax PVR-9200T.
I have tried the SAT code 1808 and it works a treat!
You have to call the Customer Care line as these codes are very new and have not yet been incroporated into the Internet download process.
Hope this helps. Cheers!

(2) when updating the remote, it often seems to get stuck in "checking for updates" cycle.
Yes... logitech had some server issues apparantly. They got back to me a week after emailing their customer service - by then I'd sorted my programming out. :mad:
Late on in the process I switched to user the browser setup version that logitech host on their website - this seemed much better for (1) and a little better for (2)
Oh... I only had the browser option. I don't think the update the client anymore... just update the website.

It's the £19.99 from Dixons that you're after - I had to go to and from the shop a few times whilst I checked this myself!

I bought on ebay the original old Kameleon 6 first generation and have set up nearly all of the functions with no problem.
up-down channel
all numbers
menu
exit
ok
up/down/left/right
back
play
rewind
ff
rw
record
pause
play menu
on/off
etc
It says in the manual (page 8) that it can store 50 new functions and that seems to cover most that i needed.
For those that are interested to get your ofa to learn:-
I set video button to clone the dvd button. (This gives more options for front display, including up/down and ok button)
1) press rabbit button until it pops out. (3 secs)
2) type 9 7 5
3)press video button once
4)aim remote at each other. (about 5cm apart)
5)press the button you want to program on the ofa (i.e up channel)
6)it pulses 3 times and then all the lights go out.
7) now press and hold the up channel on the original remote. Hold this button until the ofa flashes twice.
repeat no's 5 to 7 as many times as for each button and when youve finished press rabbit button. It will flash 4 times to convirm its programmed.
Hope this is useful info and it helps someone.
