Testing:

After charging the batteries up overnight, I took the remote for a spin.  One immediate problem that I noticed is that anyone with a home theater projector is going to be at odds with the line-of-sight IR design.  The sensor for my HD projector is on the front of the unit and on a coffee table in front of me, thus it’s difficult to turn everything on at once.  The problem would also exist with rear mounted projectors and you may have to consider Logitech’s IR extender to reach everything.  I was able to get functions like Watch TV working, but had to get up off the couch to angle it correctly.  This type of remote is really better suited for rooms with all the devices in one place and in plain view of the remote.

• Excellent feel / weight in your hand.
• Simple to program and intuitive when in use.
• Battery life is excellent.
• Despite the $150 MSRP, it can be found for less then $100 online frequently.
  

• Not ideal for home theater projector owners or those with hidden home theater components.

Allen James  - consumer     |2011-02-11 05:55:42 I have found in most cases the Harmony remotes work well , and are typically a good value for the money. I DO NOT like any tech support. They do not support their products well at all which is why I cannot reccommend their products. Great product , terrible company! 0   1

starvinmarvin  - How smart is the remote?   |2011-02-11 10:27:46 If we're already watching TV and we press the button for "Watch DVD" is the remote smart enough to know the TV and A/V receiver are already on? Or will it, in fact, turn them OFF instead? 1   0
