Universal Remote reveals $149 URC Digital R50

Back at CEDIA, you witnessed the best Universal Remote Control had to offer for the high-end and custom-install market, but the outfit's latest caters to the commercial crowd. Hailed as its new flagship unit for the consumer retail channel, the URC Digital R50 features a backlit, customizable color screen, PC-free setup, an IR blaster, support for up to 18 home theater components, an ARM7 microprocessor and backlit buttons for good measure. The unit gets powered by four AA cells and weighs just nine ounces with the batteries installed, and for those who are already drooling, you can snap it up now through major retailers for $149.

Dealbreaker - it's not RF. URC is pretty much all RF, why they chose not to make this one with that functionality is beyond me. How can this be called a flagship if it's not RF. In any case, it should be as good or better than the Harmony One and it's cheaper too. When they make an RF remote I'll trade in my RF20...

Battery companies are going to love this remote with a screen like that. RF would be nice!
