Kameleon 5 Remote
Reviewed on 26 March 2008 in the Home Use Section The new touch screen Stylish all in one remote control from one for all.
 The all new Kameleon 5 remote from One For All is a great
looking remote control with brushed metal look it really fits in with most
modern flat screen TV’s. With the ability to control up to 5 devices including
your tv, sat and even lighting. This latest universal remote control really
forces down the reason why there is no longer a need for many remotes in one
room of your home.
The idea behind the Kameleon range is that of light up
buttons which only display the buttons you need. If you’re on your DVD options
you will see play pause fast forward etc. Flicking to your TV will give you
volume, numbers and a lot of other settings.
One of the best things about the One For All range of
remotes is the chance to be able to teach it new controls from old remotes.
Just like your sky remote learns to change the volume on your TV. This is
actually good as it means you can then teach the sky part of the Kameleon to
learn the volume. Stopping you from having to flick to the tv section first.
The only real down fall in the design is the actually touch
screen itself. Because its flat you lose a lot of the feel of the remote.
Anyone who has a sky remote (or any other for that matter) will know that after
a short time you learn where each button is and you don’t need to look down to
find it. Very important on a lay Sunday afternoon when you are flicking through
the channels. The Kameleon does have some controls which are real buttons for
volume, channel change and navigation which might make this a trivial argument against
the remote.
The remote isn’t the most comfortable in your hand. It being
a very wide remote with an odd curve placed on the underside of it.
