You've already said that $100 is too high of a fee to charge and if you think it's URCs place to try and put some sort of maximum charge for updating a remote you are insane. What I am not ok with is them allowing dealers to charge exorbitant amounts of money for a fairly straightforward task Yes, I have a decent amount of programming experience, but the difficulty is probably on par with making an Excel macro. Bull shit.Īfter several hours searching for the software online, I finally found it and once I downloaded the file from the remote, the change took 30 minutes (I had never seen their software before and if I were to do it again, it would be tons faster). The company itself (URC) will not give out the software itself and will point you to a dealer.īoth the dealer and URC will give you the excuse that the software is super complicated and you need tons of training to use it. Even though you bought the remote from them and probably paid 4-5 figures for an install, they will still charge you. The dealers are allowed to give out the software, but most won't (and why would they? they've got you over a barrel if you want your remote changed). If the theater store shows you an estimate with a URC device (MX-980, etc.) be forewarned that you will pay out the nose fro what is essentially writing a macro in Excel. I downloaded the program file from the remote and was able to add in the source in 30 minutes (first time seeing the software, so it'd be faster next time).

Oh, you bought the remote and a 5 figure install from us? We'd be happy to let you pay us more money! Call URC? They'll patronize you as well and tell you to talk to your dealer.Īfter hours of searching online, I finally found the software. Oh, you want the (free) software I'm allowed to give (at their discretion)? Nope! Its too complex for you to understand. Want to add a Chromecast or a Roku box? That will be $100+. Why? What they may not tell you is that the software does not come with the remote.

However, if I were to redo my theater, I would definitely not buy it. editįirst off, I have the MX-980 and its a great piece of hardware. The analogy I used I the comments was if BMW started putting locks on the it hoods that only dealers could open (and the dealer doesn't bring this up during the sale) and then the dealers started charging $500 for an oil change, you would be ticked at both the dealer and BMW. From searching online, my experience is definitely the norm. They allow their dealers to charge exorbitant rates for simple programming. They always help.Įdit to clarify my gripe, I am unhappy with my dealer but URC is definitely at fault too.
