It works for me in both the living room and bedroom, both TVs are Sony Bravias.

I tried it at a local bar here in Orlando, FL during a football game (secretly ofcourse) works fine. I think the TV was a Samsung

Works fine.
Tried again and got it to work with the TV and hifi amp. I found that you have to point exactly at the target device as the beam seems to be quite focused and general direction won't do.
Just need to find what device to use for the UK Virgin Tivo and that will be very useful. I'll post here if I manage to figure it out.

It works ok, but HTC's Remote is LEAGUES better than LG's offering

It works well on my Insignia TV but you really have to point it straight at the TV for it to work. Rather annoying. I really wish i could control my PS3 with it.

The quick remote has been great for me. It works for my RCA TV, old school RCA Surround sound, and my Comcast cable. I'm with dportal though, I wish it would work with my ps3. But that is my only complaint about it.

Comcast box no problem. Samsung Smart Tv, I have to be almost on axis perpendicular to the set. I might try setting up a custom remote and see if that exhibits same behavior.
For those people trying to control PS3, have you set up a custom remote and tried to learn the patterns to send?

Got it to work with all of the TVs & cable box in my house & one of my TVs is almost 6 years old.
Also set it up with the TVs & cable boxes at my sister in law's house & my mother's house.

PS3 is indeed blue tooth with no IR. I do have a remote for my PS3 but it is the actual Sony PS3 remote. There are a few options out there including IR to blue tooth converters but that just seems like a silly venture.
How to turn on HDMI control, Anynet, SimpLink - YouTube
If your PS3 and your tv are compatible, this seems to be the only viable way you can control the PS3 with IR. Sadly, I have a first gen backward compatible and the HDMI Control is not allowed. I think the ability to play PS2 games is worth not having this option.
I know this is like a year later, but I just started using this app and I think it's pretty great. My only question is, if I have to do a hard key reset on my television is going to work with that or do I need the actual remote? I would be interested to know. But other than that I love this app its perfect
Mine has done that twice. I program it and it works fine, but when I try days/weeks later it no longer works.
Honestly I don't care. I'd never use it anyway. I don't lose my remotes and they just make more sense to use.

It irritates me that LG locks down to G2 IR from other apps but don't include basic functions like assigning the volume control for all equipment to a central AV receiver versus each component's volume.
