Anyone using a "Harmony" remote?

<< < (3/3)

Hockeyboy:
I have the 676 - picked it up at Sam's Club and decided to try it out. It couldn't find my TV in the list, so it asked for the brand name and then asked to learn some buttons.
 
Works quite well except for a couple of things: When I try to switch from watching DVD to watching TV the input for my TV is supposed to go to AV3 but it stops at AV1 so I have to press the Help button and force it to move through a couple more inputs. Even though I decreased the sensitivity for TV volume, it still wants to move volume in steps of 2 or 3 instead of just 1.

All in all, for the money I spent, I expected a little more and a little friendlier interface and troubleshooting capability. When it works correctly for the units I have: DVD player, DirecTV satellite, LCD HDTV, A/V Receiver, I truly enjoy having to hold only one remote vs. 4 different remotes.

Would I buy another one? Only if all my devices were able to be 'mirrored' better on the Harmony remote and if it picked up all the devices easily without having to answer extra questions and then STILL getting the inputs/commands wrong.

Santoro:
I have the 680 and like it a lot.   8/10, I'd say.  It would be a nine but the battery cover is really cheap and broke on me.  They replaced it for free.
