 Graet remote........easy set up January 8, 2009
I set up the remote today and so far it works wonderful. Set up took about ten minutes! Amazing.....I bought this remote not because it can control up to 15 devices, but because it has a rechargable battery. I only control four devices.
Must have remote, well worth the money January 8, 2009
This remote works great if you have people in or visiting your house that have no idea how to switch your entertainment system between cable, dvd, video games, cds, etc. The remote turns on the correct components, changes the input settings and switches the volume control to the correct device for the activity you just selected. It is easy to program via your computer and you can customize every possible aspect, down to reassigning what each button does. The only potential complaint I have is that the volume and channel up/down buttons are a little too small, but other than that it works great. With the charging system, you don't even have to buy batteries.
great remote January 7, 2009
I never thought I would be so excited about a tv remote but this thing is better than I ever hoped. It is very easy to set up and even easier to use. My wife even likes it and she is not a fan of all my electronic goodies so she was the ultimate test and it passed with flying colors. One touch of "watch tv" or "watch dvd" and this remote does the rest it is simply a great tool if you have several things to control.
Outstanding Remote January 6, 2009
This remote ended our remote clutter. The Logitech Harmony 880 replaced 5 different remotes and made the operation of all the electronics easy. We no long need to remember the setting of each component to operate them together. This has ended our operational frustration.
I would recommend this remote to EVERYONE!
It is easy to program and takes all of the guesswork out of things. It's a great value!
Good control, passable software January 6, 2009
Good news are that I was able to control a zoo of devices with this remote. I have a couple of different DVD players, TV, Receiver, VCR and wireless streaming device - I set up the remote to control them all. There are a few inconvenient hoops one has to jump through - the software works only in presence of an Internet connection and help facility is very confusing.
Activities are very helpful, but there's also a usability problem with the control - there's no way to tell it you are in "an activity". For uninitiated: the control lets the user define "an activity", for example: "watch a DVD" or "listen to streaming MP3". While defining "an activity" the user specifies states of all devices participating in the activity, for example:tv is on, receiver is on, dvd player is on, receiver is set to DVD channel, sound controlled by the receiver. I usually start watching a DVD by coming to DVD player, turning it on, putting the DVD in, then closing the tray and hitting "On" buttons on the TV and the receiver while I am out there. Unfortunately, at this point the only option I have with the remote is to control the devices separately, i.e. switching it to the device I want to control at this moment instead of telling it "I'm watching a DVD, so figure out where to change the volume or turn on subtitles on your own." Only if I first hit the activity button on the remote I have the easy option available.
