Get the Harmony Elite Instead

I bought this at the recommendation of Magnolia rep and had to return it the next day. Very buggy. Also very poor I/R and only one RFI. Harmony Elite is less expensive and works much better. Don't spend the extra money for a subpar product.

This remote was supposed to provide one device to operate my TV, Audio system, DVDs, and cable box applications. It in fact did none of the above, i.e. would not operate any of my devices.

Unit was dead right out of the box. I would have replaced it, however I read reviews where other shoppers had the same issue. Buyer beware!

...and you can talk to it! I'm so happy that I had Geek Squad set it up, but even a novice can use it! Press the "mike" and you're off! It makes all the changes. Does things my husband's Harmony can't.

Finally a great remote that's works every time you turn it on. It's a breeze to change between Cable and Netflix to Sonos then back again. Our receiver
Is behing doors and the signal is strong and always works. Very pleased with this purchase.

The remote is capable, flexible, and complex. It does all of the things I wanted it to do. It requires professional set up and programming. I used Geek Squad. They were great. I do not think I could have done this by myself.

There were too many issues with this remote. The Geek Squad updated our current system & stated they were having difficulty with the system issues on this. In fact, we are going back to Logitech. It is more efficient than this one.

I returned the remote after having geek squad come and set it up. The router from mediacom and the host Base don't work together. Wish it would because I really liked it.
