Better Remote for Dreamlink T1

[asaini]

Hi all,

Before posting this new thread, I have already tried to search for remote for T1 but could not find anything.
I have recently (26th Aug, 2016) bought T1 and am very happy with it.
My only wish is to use a single remote for T1 as well as TV (Samsung). The remote that comes with T1 does not support multiple devices.
I need your suggestions in finding a better/best remote for T1 which can control multiple devices.
I know Logitech Harmony will most probably work. But would like to find the pros and cons of using different Harmony models (350, 650, etc) with T1.
Do all the features (like EPG, VoD, Groups, page up & down etc.) work with these harmony remotes?

Do we have any other remotes (non harmony) also that work well with T1 and TV?

Please share your valuable feedback.

The dreamlink t4 and t5 remotes work on the t1 and I have my t4 remote programed to work my Samsung smart tv volume channels and power

Yes they do i don't like the t1 remote the way it clicks and it doesn't seem to work very well so I use my t4 remote

By any chance have you ever used Harmony on T1?
Would like to know about Harmony remotes and T1 compatibility also.

I am searching on the internet for T4 remote and the images that appear does not show any dedicated button for TV.
It appears to be a single device remote unless the one you are using is a T5 remote.

A five dollar universal remote from Walmart and programmed for a coolsat works very well.

What model number did you specify for the Dreamlink for the Harmony Remote Setup?

 

[asaini]

Logitech has Dreamlink T1 in their supported model list.

I had a Logitec Harmony 220?(cheapest one $20) worked my Dreamlinks fine
Hook remote to pc to update to the newest boxes

the Dreamlink T4 T5 and T6 remotes also work with T1
