I used to have an 8 but now have a 12. The 8 somehow seems more logical to me. The 12 feels cheap, sorry, but it does. The coloured buttons on the 8 were a real usability point. the blue home button, red V+ button made it easy to operate without really thinking.

I know these have TV codes programmed and that works great with my Sharp Aquos TV in but I can't help feeling the lack of a learn function is really poor. I had an old all for one type Medion £10 remote from Aldi that had a remote learn function

I am sure I am not the only one who has the TV sound Muted and the TV locked on to one HDMI port using an AV Amp as the heart of a system. I would love to have the volume control on the V+ operate the surround sound receiver volume. None of the Yamaha TV codes seem to work for me I'm Afraid.

The Yamaha remote will do basic channel changes and power on the V+ but as it has no coloured buttons does not work with the V+ functionality, EPG, Recording, VOD etc. So getting the VM remote to do the volume seems the right way round to me, maybe the TiVO remote is better?
