I want some reviews of this and tell me how good or crap it is before I divulge the location of how to get this piece of hardware.
Cheers.
We use a Harmony One indoors (the 1100 was too big - but good price if you can get it for £150). After the initial whining and bCheers.
hing from the Doris, she has now got used to it. And I think, secretly likes it.I have a Harmony.
It's st. Too bloody fiddly, never does what it's meant to (my Samsung telly doesn't have descrete input selection, so it gets "lost" a lot). Buttons all over the shop, so half of the useful ones are on page 3 or 5, and the ones I never use are on 1.
As a result, it lives behind my telly, and 6 remotes live in the cracks between sofa cushion and armrest =)

I've got one and it's well worth the cash
I've got the following connected to it:
Sony TV
Sony AV Receiver
PS3 (need the BluTooth adapter)
Sky HD
A fan (yes, yes I know)
I've configured various buttons for watching TV, playing a BluRay Disk via the PS3, listening to the radio.
The Girlfriend finds it very easy to use.
Very happy all in all - 1 remote doing the work of 5

Perhaps it needs its configuration looked at? If self-config isn't your thing, I think there are a fair few hifi shops that offer Harmony configuration.It's s

This has always worried me about these remotes. My Panasonic G10, you have to choose input, then scroll down a couple of times to select the input - you can't select a specific input from the remote (if that makes sense), which means I can see it getting lost and wound up, especially as we'll have other remotes upstairs in the bedroom still.ukwill said:

Very easy to set up; works well with the optional RF-extender for hidden kit. _Completely_ reliant on Logitech's website for configuration, so it'll brick if they go titsup or drop the product. You have no control over screen layout, and some device configurations don't have the buttons you'd ideally want easily accessible. In our setups, with extenders, there's a noticeable lag to volume control, so you learn to multitap and wait rather than holding the relevant buttons down.
We had Prontos before with a carefully-crafted config; I'm the only one that notices the difference. Wife & kids very happy with the Harmonies.

They don't appear to be £150 unless I am very much mistaken.Although why, I don't know?
