Pros: -Compatible with any device -Fully customizable buttons -"Learning" ability for any unknown command Cons: -Wizard style setup makes it hard to customize -Uses batteries quickly (but replaces multiple remotes) The Bottom Line: -Highly recommended. -Setup can take a while, but when it's done, you'll never use another remote. -Has all the features at a fraction of the cost of most Harmonys. from Shopping.com I spent 6 hours and 37 minutes on the phone (includeds hold time) with Logitech support to figure out the issues I was having with the remote. Finally at one point it would no longer update. from Amazon.com I have the default activities setup - Watch Movie (DVD), Watch TV (comcast), Listen to Music (CD) and other custom ones including - FM Radio, Satellite Radio (from Comcast), iTunes over Airport Express & Front Row from the MacBook. For the Front Row setup, I had to tell the remote that the MacBook was actually a Mac Mini (no big deal, since the functions of the remote remain the same). The main thing to know up front is that Logitech expects you to know the model number of every device that you plan to control using this remote. Once you choose the manufacturer of the device, it provides you an example of the what the model number might look like. from Amazon.com Want a harmony remote? SKIP THIS ONE. from Amazon.com The only reason it got 4 stars is because every now and then it fails to register button presses. I feel like I have to button smash things sometimes in order for the input to register. My only other minor gripe would be a LCD screen with more rows. On my DVR device I am continually hitting 'next' to get the other options that are not on the default buttons. from Amazon.com Like so many others, I have a lot of remote controls and my wife hates them. Harmony attempts to make life simple for the rest of us. I have to stress the word "attempts". from Amazon.com The guy with the USB connection issues, duh, please tell me how many computers have all the exact set ups, internet connections, anti-virus software ect ect. NO WAY! The USB connection issues depend ENTIRELY ON THE COMPUTER and not the Harmony. Get this, I know exactly how my computer works and I plugged in my Harmony and had no issues, first try, is it luck? from Amazon.com I bought the Harmony to accomplish a very simple task - turn on my HDTV, turn on my Receiver and turn on my DVD/VCR unit, so I can watch my TIVO, which is a Phillips DirecTV receiver/TIVO combined unit. My goal was to simply turn everything on simultaneously to avoid using 3 remotes to do the same thing (the DTV/TIVO unit is always powered). from Amazon.com Found out from Logitech that item was previously bought from Amazon then resold by Amazon shortly afterward. Logitech only honors warrenty to original owners. from Amazon.com I don't have a lot to add to what other positive reviews have said. These remotes are very flexible and you can tweak them to perfection, or at least as close as your equipment allows. I've got a 676 and a 628 for my house, and bought a 628 for a friend. (I bought the 676 first, but after playing with it and a 628 I think I'd rather have a 628. from Amazon.com
