Does this have the same response lag as original Slide remote? Just bought a Roamio- it's "compatible" but virtually useless due to lag/no response.

This my first TiVo Slide Pro Remote. I also have a Tivo Roamio and the slide pro works great and there's no lag time.

Response time is much better. I also have both. The new slide uses the same transmission method used for all other TiVo buttons not the separate Bluetooth path.

We have experienced no lag on the premiere with the new Slide remote. It is faster than the cable DVR remote we use on our upstairs remote and is just as fast as the regular TiVo remote on this same set. Have you 'paired ' the new slide remote and if you did have you entered the correct code for your TV? Just guessing, but that might be an issue.

Much better then old slide. Have had some trouble getting it to turn on tv and receiver but otherwise far superior to old slide.

The new remote is RF, not Bluetooth, so it's vastly more responsive. I was annoyed by the lag on the old remote but am very pleased by the new one.

I have the C00240 slide from my old S3 and it was terrible with the Roamio Pro until I used an extension cable to move the "dongle" to the side of the Roamio Pro. The difference is night and day. It works first time every time from each corner of the house, front porch, back porch, and even the garage. When the dongle was plugged directly into the back of the Roamio Pro, the remote was nearly useless. So give that a try before you fork over $40 for a new remote.

Nope. Not at all. TiVo got it right this time. Not one missed button press since I got mine. Unfortunate that the Bluetooth connectivity didn't work well on the first one, I had the same problem after about a month. But this one is perfect. 100% recommendation!

There is a slight lag when using the keyboard, but when using basic TiVo features on the face of the remote it is leaps and bounds greater than the original. I am using a TiVo Premiere XL with this remote, so if you have the new Roamio I dont have a clue how it will do. I love mine.

I don't notice any significant lag. It connects wirelessly instead of via infrared. That may help reduce the lag. I'm running it on a TiVo Premiere.

Better would be for the remote to respond once to a single press! Seriously, I do not know how to answer your question as there is NO correct other reply!! Mine seems to work just as well as the OEM version (which doesn't always respond as it should either!).

If you have the original remote, you can have this remote learn the original remote's functions.I'm curious if you're asking about the feature found on some Sony TVs to freeze any image shown on the screen, or something else?

I also wondered about a delay with this remote. I emailed Satechi and heard back from "Arthur". He said there is no ability for a 2-3 second delay. From what reviewers have said about this remote you may be able to hide the remote but take the pictures anyway because of the Radio Frequency.

As I'm about to buy one for myself, I was concerned about that as well, Greg- as it turns out, all the Alphas use the exact same remote connection. So that's a "YES". I have used mine like crazy since I bought it a couple of months ago, and I'm pretty happy with it for the money. Is it top-notch? No, it doesn't even have an "off" button. However, the batteries last almost forever, they're just the normal AAA kind you have laying around in a remote somewhere, and it only takes two of them. The thing is simple to operate and understand, in my opinion. Buy one, you won't be sorry! Oh, BTW I use an A77 at the moment- forgot to mention that.

The controller works with pretty much any emu you use. i had a little trouble getting kega fusion to recognize it, but after switching the controller to direct input and restarting the emulator, it finally worked p.s., if you haven't bought the controller yet, don't. it's plagued with latency and connection issues. don't be convinced by all the 5 star reviews on this site. do some forum research on google and you'll know what im talking about. as long as you're directly in front of the reciever, no more than 6 feet away, with absolutely no objects in the line of sight between controller and receiver, you'll be fine.

I have iOS7 on my iPad and my Satechi remote does advance slides with no problems.

I had this problem until I updated the firmware on the remote about two months ago, around July 2015. It changed all the graphics on the remote as well. Much more responsive than it used to be.

Mine wouldn't do the auto program or the one where you point the old one at it and press all the buttons. I had to do it one button at a time, manually. As to how that works, I'm sorry but I can't remember exactly. I just remember fighting with the thing for a long time.This remote has now become nearly useless, as the main select button has to be mashed hard to get it to react, and the up/down selector ring is also barely functioning. It has also become very position sensitive and has to be pointed directly at the Dish box to work, and is slow even then.I have bought a new Sony RM-VLZ620 to replace it. Sorry I was not more help. If I knew then what I know now about the URC, I would have sent it back. You should too. Mine wouldn't do the auto program or the one where you point the old one at it and press all the buttons.

It has been my experience so far that this remote DOES NOT work with the new Playtouch as advertised! I bought the camera and the remote together. The only button that would work on the remote is the record button. I tried 3 remotes on 3 different cameras and vice versa at Best Buy and the same problem existed on every occasion. I would have thought that Kodak would have done their own testing before they advertised that this remote is compatible with the Playtouch...IT IS NOT!

I assume you lost the remote that came with the unit. You may want to look into one of those Universal Remotes. You may also want to contact Sony for their advice.

I found the buttons on the remote somewhat difficult to press and get a response. Also, you must get close and be absolutely direct, straight on, in pointing it. If it still doesn't work, contact the company. They have very good support and if they can't help you, will most certainly replace it.

I have an older Wave with CD. I know I was sent the wrong remote twice and had to return them. I'm not home or I would verify model and remote. Brian

You have to push the demo button every time to make it work with the remote. It is a little unusual. Keep trying.

Um, are we all talking about the "same" remote here? I have the "RC66RBX RF Universal Remote" and it has NO LIGHT BUTTONS ON ANY OF IT'S SIDES, nor does it backlight. I saw the two comments and I cannot help but think that you have a different model than what is listed here, or maybe I have a different one that you guys received.

Horribly. You have to push and hold for each direct skip. I used to use that all the time on old remote but on this one I just fast forward. Honestly I find 4 fast forward is faster than 6 direct skips.
