 Great learning remote. Much better than the original. February 22, 2010
J. Abraham
I have been a TiVo user for many years, we own 4 units, 2 HD. Frankly I've always wanted a Glo because of the backlight but could never justify it for that reason alone. Recently I upgraded my AVR to the Sony STR-DN1000. Unfortunately the standard TiVo peanut will not work with this receiver (just doesn't have the codes). Fortunately the Glo is a learning remote. I programmed the Glo to:
- run the TiVo (default, no programming necessary obviously)
- power on my Panasonic Plasma display
- volume the AVR
- set the INPUT button to switch the AVR to HDMI 1 (TiVo) and set the MUTE button (which I never use anyway) to HDMI 2 (my PS3)
That covers it for me.
As for the remote itself:
It's considerably better than the standard TiVo remote. Why?:
- MUCH better buttons. The buttons have a more tactile feel with a slight positive click. No more mushy buttons. Even the TiVo button is improved.
- WEIGHT. Nice heft.
- SELECT button is now in the center of the directional pad, quite a bit handier than below as it is on the standard remote.
- BACKLIT! It's not terribly bright but it's pretty good. It's also ambient light sensitive so it only turns on at night, no wasted batteries during the day. Contrary to what another reviewer said, the backlight function can be turned off.
- TEXTURE. The bottom half of the backside is textured which makes it easy to tell which way is up in the dark.
- POWER. As it's predecessor, very powerful IR. I don't understand why other remote manufacturers don't do this. Point it at the ceiling or through a blanket, it will work.
Cons? Though it is a learning remote, it has few available buttons for learning as most the buttons are TiVo specific and cannot be programmed (Thumbs buttons, Aspect, etc.). That's OK though, it has enough for what I want it to do. The price is also much too high. This should be $35 tops.
Great Remote... December 16, 2009

We have a toddler and needed a replacement--this is better than the original TIVO remote--but some of the buttons are in different places...
Nearly perfect remote for a tivo November 5, 2009
Stephanie Sullivan (Boston, MA USA)
I really like my backlit remote. It's perfect for those dark rooms. the design and layout are very well thought out and I think natural. The ability to control more than one Tivo is very useful since I have 2. Battery life is my only downside, but it's still not bad. Would rather of had AA instead of AAA batteries, but I guess they could not have fit.
TiVoGlo vs. TiVo basic remotes September 23, 2009

I have a Tivo Series 2 DT. The TiVoGlo is a much more powerful remote. If you have problems with the response of a standard remote, then try the TiVoGlo remote. You should see a quicker response from your Tivo.
 Bad Luck or Bad Quality September 21, 2009

I just purchased a Tivo HD XL, and it came with a version of this remote. Everything worked well, but within 1 hour, the 7-key stopped working. I rebooted the remote after talking to their support folks, and replaced the batteries with fresh ones. Nothing worked. I decided to purchase a replacement TiVoGlo from Amazon to get it delivered more quickly than Tivo could, and it worked fine for about 5 minutes when the 8-key started being intermittent. I managed to get the remote for my TV to do almost everything that the TiVo remote does (the only thing it cannot do is put the playback into slo-mo mode). I have another on the way.
