For those that have owned this type remote, it is so much better than the new ones that try to stuff too much and too many features and functions (and actually do less). I like the simplicity of this universal remote because it doesn't require any other attachments to my devices. Great product, too bad it is considered old and discontinued. Get'em while you can!

The touch screen is way to sensitive. It changes channels, or may change activities when setting the remote down. Sometimes you have to touch the screen hard or several times for a selection, and other times it makes a selection by passing your finger over it. The design makes it more difficult to hold and make selection with one hand. Not as easy to use as my 950 design.

Binary questions such as "Is it easy to program" require only a yes or no answer. I believe the remote is more difficult to program than the older MX-350. The MX-350 had a cloning feature, which the MX-450 lacks. IN my opinion, programming the MX-450 is moderately difficult.

Once you understand the menu levels and how to use them this remote is a snap to program. It has a nice design with good tactile feedback buttons. The best thing is you don't need a computer or separate software or an expensive technician to program it. You can customize almost every button to learn from your current equipment's original remotes. Very easy process in fact I think it's faster than the "search for codes process" because I have yet to see that process work 100% so you end up trying code after code to end up with only a portion of the buttons working. The learning process is 100% bullet proof and quick.

I bought this remote because I already own one. This was to replace my current remote in case it stopped working. I didn't realize that the newer remotes are not software compatible with the older remote. I had to program the new one from scratch. Since I don't do this for a living it took a while. All good now and it works great. Better than the old one.
