    Solid controls across all of my devices. This version is able to simultaneously send on or off signals to multiple devices. Earlier models were deliberate and slow and required you to point at your devices for several seconds to send signals.

    Was looking for a replacement for the remote Version sent which was dying. Needed one that could handle several devices and this fit the bill. Easy to set up on line liked that I didn't have to search for the right code. Has worked great.

    Great product for a simpler bedroom TV setup

    I have this configured configured for bedroom use which has a simpler setup than my living room where I use a Harmony One. The Watch TV setup turns on the TV, cable box and Bose speakers. The Watch Movie turns on the TV, Bose Speakers and Blu-ray player. And I added a third option - without the dedicated button - for using the Roku. All in all a great device. I just didn't give it 5 stars because I would like to see the price a little cheaper.

    Very good product. Easily allows me to operate multiple components from one device. Just two concerns: 1)power off turns off my Bose Cinemate 120 but it will instantly turn on, which in turn turns the TV back on. So I have to use another remote to turn off the Bose. 2) Cannot take my Tivo out of sleep mode with the remote. So I have to use the Tivo remote exit Tivo sleep mode. Other than that, it is a very good product

    This is my third 650 remote controls. One is upstairs, the second broke after several years of usage and at least 50 major drops. These are easy to program when you understand the browser interface. The only gotcha is that you can't control the order in the screen of the Activities you define. Otherwise, it controls all of my video center devices. The top device specific functions are raised automaticlly to the activity level. It is a few clicks and you can drop down into any device and use the 650 like a native remote.

    Finally one remote for all my devices. I was able to easily connect my TV. Cable box, sound system, DVR and blue ray player to this remote. I can turn on all of my devices with the click of a single button. And control all of the major functions. I do still have to toggle through the devices on the remote menu for some advanced functionality and to control Netflix functions. The device is very configurable when attached to the pc software.

    I bought this remote to use as a service remote for my stand alone DVR. It works great for that but is questionable for everyday use. To many button pushes to get the result you want.

    This device is intimidating at first look, after all it's a UNIVERSAL control, and that covers an awfully lot ot territory! I don't know my way around these types of things -- the other reviews were not what I'd call all to helpful. So with that in mind, this setup was a snap, it's all done via the internet connection on my computer, and then just a matter of learning which button on the device does what. Ease of control for my flat screen, and the DVD - Blu Ray player with just a single finger!

    Had it for a month or so now and I am very happy with it. There are some timing settings I wish I could change to speed up things when I power on, but overall, it is a very good unit.

    Great starter Harmony Universal Remote

    I've been skeptical of these Logitechs mostly based on the price they require you to pay to effectively not gain anything new...but only simplify what you already can do. With this remote, and with BestBuy's fantastic price point during the pre-Christmas rush, I finally took the plunge. It was incredibly easy to set up. Given the 5-device limit (yes, I knew about it prior to buying...but still... in today's homes there are 6-7 per ROOM) it would have been nice to save profiles so you could at least easily switch between these 5 and those 5 with a quick USB sync. Other than that its very easy to pick the devices and the desires. Setting a one-off unique button to something is a bit trickier but still overall easy. The two main modes each work perfectly. "activity" first turns everything to where it needs to be then buttons work per device all at once (so, watch movie turns on my receiver, BD player and tv and goes to the right settings, plus then the volume is set to work the receiver whereas the playpause is set to the BD player, etc). "device" mode is simply swapping the full remote between each device. a glorified version of the original universal remotes I guess. My only complaint is that you cannot access the activity mode without choosing that activity....which naturally trys to turn everything on. If anything anywhere is already on (say, i turned on my BD player to change discs), choosing the activity gets things backwards. If I skip activity though and just bounce between devices...i end up not having that nice combo remote for things like volume and playpause as I mentioned above. Anyways, all in all I'm impressed and I'll likely be buying another one of these for another room.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Sometimes the sequence to turn on your entertainment system doesnt register 100% so you have to go back and turn on or off an individual device (such as the tv or cable box) which defeats the purpose of hitting one button to activate everything. Also, within 1 month, the "0" number button has fallen out and now i have to navigate to channel 29 and go up 1 to get to channel 30. Expensive remote for mediocre quality and ease.

    If you just want one remote, then this is a great choice. Of course the pricier Harmony remotes would work too, though this one is perfectly fine for me. At first, it was slightly confusing with quite a few buttons and options, though like most things has become easier to use over time. I just use it for one tv and a blu ray player, though I'm sure it would work great with my other television if I wanted/could remember to bring the remote with me around the house.

    This remote has any easy setup and eliminated the need for 4 different remotes . However I have had to reload this remote twice as it "forgot" the settings I installed on it. The process of setting it up is fairly simple but does require 15-20 min - not exactly what you want to do when you sit down for movie night with the family and suddenly realize that your one and only remote control doesn't work. I am going to keep the remote for a while longer , but if it " forgets" again I will discontinue using it and return it.

    To the point, this remote is stylish and fairly functional. Moreover, I am thrilled at not having multiple remotes to locate anytime I want to watch either internet or OTA TV. That said, this remote is only 80% accurate in the commands it gives. In particular, it has difficulties changing the input on my TV. Still it works most of the time, and honestly, I have yet to find a better product to do the job.
