If you are thinking about the Harmony remotes from Logitech, you should know two things
Review From: Eric W, Jan 3, 2006
I have the model H880. If you are thinking about the Harmony remotes from Logitech, you should know two things. 1. The remote itself is quite nice. It is very stylish and very functional. Some complain that the buttons are too small, but most say that they got used to them (myself included). The remote can be tweaked and customized to the max, even including a "slide show" feature of you own pictures (in the color display). The remote is a bit overwhelming. This is no 3-in-1, so plan on several hours to get the hang of it, and to program it, which leads me to my second point (grip). 2. You MUST use the Logitech Harmony website for ALL configuration and changes to the remote. This also means you must have Internet access. While the website is clean and straightforward, accessing the website is problematic at best. I received the H880 for Christmas and spent the next two days greeted with an "Experiencing High Traffic" message each time I tried to program the remote. I am not alone in this. I believe most of the problems could be solved if the configuration utility was a self-contained stand-alone application, but that is not the case. Hopefully, someday, this issue will be addressed. The "manual", all fifteen pages does state, "The Harmony remote is an Internet-powered universal remote control." As long as you can access the harmony member website you should be OK.
