Anyone got a logitech Harmony?

[David]

I just bought a harmony one to take care of my remote, pretty good price on amazon. £111.

Anyway. Anyone used one? experiences etc? really looking forward to sorting out my remote control clutter (ps3, xbox, HTPC, skybox, 5.1amp, tv)

I have a Harmony 885, great bit of kit had it for a couple of years now and makes life so much easier for my girlfriend. She can press one button and it turns the right boxes on and sets the right inputs etc.

PS3 is controlled by bluetooth but I think logitech have bought out something so IR remotes can control it.

Can be a pain to set-up, although easy to do as its all managed online. Once you've got it set-up its perfect.

I've only been put off from the Harmony One as it doesn't have dedicated Red/Green/Blue/Yellow buttons for Sky. You can of course program them into other buttons but I'm sticking with my 885 until the next model comes out.

I had a 885 which I sold earlier this year for a Harmony One. Both excellent remote controls. The Harmony One was on offer for £69 when I bought it from Amazon.

Anyway its ace! Im using mine with xbox, TV, Sky HD, Humax Freeview box and an amp.

Custom button control is ace and the whole macro jobby.

Quality is good, and is nice an sleek

It's great, I prefer it to the 885 it replaced, the screen is far better. Lack of Red/Green/Yellow/Blue is not a problem as I added them to the colour screen and they work fine.

Done the same, works a treat also.

You can add any button you like to the screen really. So no issue there.

had the 525 for ages worked well, but screen broke last month , lights up but doesnt display text, logitech say it cant be fixed, so have offered me 50% off next purchase of one , so going for the touch screen advanced one. Just a shame there original prices aint like ccl and such.

Appart from that still worth money

I've just got a 885 off my brother. He upgraded to a Harmony 1000 going for £130 on amazon. Great remote and glad its has the colours on it as that was a right pain with my old Harmon Kardon touch screen brick.
Works much better with my PVR although I've still not set it up fully. Not bad for free.
