 Great Value; Great Features; Great Price April 28, 2010
E. J. Hunyadi (Spring, TX)
I got this remote hoping to reduce the number of remotes at the size of our sectional from 5 to 1. After an initial issue with not paying attention to the helper screen when learning a remote, I was able to finally (and for the first time ever) go from five remotes to just this one.
This remote worked out-of-the-box with four of the five devices I needed it to control; only the Insignia NS-R5101HD Audio Receiver didn't work initially. That's when I tried to use the learning function. For a day I floundered with "Learning Failed" messages until I read online that the learning feature is on the BOTTOM of the remote, and not on the top. Once I learned this, I quickly learned the functions I needed/wanted from the audio remote, and now it works like a champ!
Some reviews say that this device has no macro functionality; this is wrong. It does, in fact, have macro functionality, but perhaps not as lengthy or full-featured as remotes costing four to five times as much. No matter; it does everything I'm certain 90% of the people out there want it to do; turn on TV, DVR, DVD, Blueray, and Audio and control channel and volume. The TiVo functionality built-in works perfectly; I've never been able to use a remote in place of the "peanut" with such ease!
All in all, this is a good deal and a good remote. Sure, the His and Her buttons are gimmicky, but to be honest, I like having the presets. I always have such a hard time finding the channels I like out of the 600+ available; now I can find them pretty easily, and even with a nice graphical/icon depiction.
Doesn't learn December 21, 2009

Nice remote that consolidates your remotes to one device. My SRU8010 has a learning disability-it can't seem to learn from other remotes. Have tried the learning feature on several remotes with failed results. It has no codes for the Sony BDP-N460 Blue-Ray player. None of the codes provided by the code book work. The Philips website is of no use. Other than that, it seems to work well.
Recommended, must be patient with initial setup October 18, 2008

There are several useful reviews already posted. I find the 8010 a great learning remote. The initial setups are, indeed, very straightforward with the use of its internal 'wizards'. However, like many reviewers have noted, it does take patience to setup up Favorites and Macros.
One also has to realize that though the Wizards may help with the bulk of the setup, most times, not all functions on a remote are covered. That's where the beauty of the LEARNING portion comes in. Simply teach or tweak any of the buttons not setup in the wizard.
Though it may intimidate some, I prefer this model with its several keys versus the touch screen model in this Prestigo family or those with fewer buttons. What some fail to realize that you trade aesthetics for reduced number of button pushing. In other words, if the remote had fewer buttons or a touch screen like its cousins, that means buried menus or repeated taps of a touch screen just to get at a function. With the 8010, all functions are available with single button pushes. You want to be able to feel and use the remote by touch and not necessarily look away from the TV.
I was very impressed with the LCD and the shear number and, more importantly, relevance of many of the network icons.
Some Cons and Tips:
Con- Though mentioned in the manual and shown in icon form on the remote itself, it must be said that the learning is done "head to tail" vs "head to head". In other words, the learning IR is located at the bottom of the 8010, so to learn another remote's function, you must hold the old remote's top pointed to the 8010's bottom--instead of IR bulb to IR bulb. I list it as a con simply because this is not the norm with many learning remotes I've used nor with previous models of Philips learning remotes.
Con- As many have said, the inability to rename macros is an oversight and nuisance.
Con- Love the favorites function, but, again, the Reorder function is painful since one must use a ladder method to move channels around rather than inserting a channel and thus moving the existing channels "down a notch". You are almost better off writing them down before entering them on the remote.
Con- I understand that this is a mid-level learning remote and to add a USB interface would've raised the price, but it would have been nice to be able to update the logo icons or even use your own.
TIP: Put as many functions as you can in 1 mode setting. The remote CAN LEARN FROM SEVERAL DIFFERENT REMOTES when in ONE mode. Many make the mistake that because you are in Satellite mode, you have to switch to TV mode to use some not often used, but necessary commands. Wouldn't it be easier to have all functions in one setting? Save yourself from unnecessary mode switching. For example, the SLEEP function. In the Satellite mode, I've programmed the SAP key with the SLEEP button command from the TV remote, even though I'm in Satellite mode. Now there's no need to go to TV mode, set a sleep timer, then push buttons to get back into Satellite mode. All of that is now done with 1 button push and just a mental note. So what if a guest or grandma or dad don't know that it's there. They can go the long way.
TIP: Re-program buttons so that they make sense to you. Some reviews have complained about the placement of the Mute button or that not enough buttons are there. I've made the minus button my mute button. It's not super close to the volume buttons, but it's now in a position that I can push by feel. In another example, I have a DVR. I've programmed the Tivo buttons on the 8010 to work for my non-Tivo DVR making the back arrow and forward arrow function as the Skip Back and Skip Fwd buttons. The Thumbs Up and Thumbs Dwn buttons and Input buttons control my PIP funtions. I could program LCD buttons, but why have my fingers move up an already long remote, when I can keep them near the Play, Pause, Rec buttons?
 How not to write an Owner's Manual October 9, 2008

I just finished programming my Prestigo SRU8010.
It took me hours of patient trial and error to figure out how to make it work and I'm still not completely satisfied.
As an example, my Yamaha HTR-5850 receiver (very popular family of devices) is not supported by the built in programming.
And there are plenty of inconsistencies:
"His" favorite channels are limited to a max of 10, while "Hers" could be as many as 18 channels.
There is a main "On" button, but not an "Off" button for devices that, instead of toggling, have dedicated commands for these functions.
The punch-through feature (an absolute must for these multi-device remotes) works only for Volume, Channel and Play, and there is no punch-through option for "Channel Guide" for when you are watching cable/sat TV, which for me is 90% of the time (I could not find a work around solution).
The creation of macros is possible only by learning the IR commands from the original brand name remotes, but impossible with the IR commands already programmed in the Prestigo.
For the price, it's not a bad remote, but the person(s) who wrote and approved the inane Owner's Manual should be instantly fired. It is as if the writer never actually tried to program the Prestigo himself. The language is confusing, there are no tutorials, and no actual examples, other than for the most elementary sequences.
The whole emphasis of the manual is on the fancy "favorite" graphic display, which operates through very small buttons.
Incidentally, the overall ergonomics could be improved with no significant extra cost, but as they say: don't look a gift horse in the mouth!
It is a very sad corporate decision for Philips to sell a "good and inexpensive" device with a manual written by a rank amateur.
