Unboxing & First Look, Initial Impressions

I finally got mine yesterday, and had some time this afternoon to unbox.
I have NOT watched your video yet, so it's literally my first time seeing the remote etc.

First impressions: What a pile of crap! The setup process is horrible. I've been messing with it for over an hour and still can't make anything work. Utterly frustrating.
Their support page is no use at all.
After all that time, I managed to get WiFi to work and connect to the remote via the web browser, and run an update. I've had to do every step 2-3 times at least before it would work.

I'll queue up your video to see if I can learn anything and not throw this thing in a box with other useless electronics.
 
So I have 2 Apple TVs, multiple K players, but it seems impossible to add a second device.
I used to have Harmony remotes, and although not easy, once you add a device, EVERYTHING would be there.
In the case of UC, nothing seems to get added. The thing looks great, but the software / firmware is not even suitable for the hobbyist (which is what Harmony really was).
I chucked it aside before I throw it through the wall.

Ugh. Send it to me, and I’ll dispose of it properly for you.
