i like the customization, although tricky, its nice having one remote.
from Jonathan from Atlanta, GA, clickfrom.buy.com
but i'm a tech head and i found the remote's software doesn't allow total customization.
from www.bestbuy.com
what's great about it:?eliminates the need for multiple remotes, and endless customizations what's not so great:?testing out the configurations you program into it...but this is what makes it great

Logitech Harmony 555 Universal Remote control LCD Remote Control

$93.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
it's all setup through a quick and easy wizard, and it allows you to make further customizations of buttons if you choose.
from www.amazon.com
teh software was easy to set up - but customization of the buttons is not as easy.
from www.amazon.com
the basic first time through set up will be fine for most people but this thing allows for alot of customization.
from www.amazon.com
i was surprised that with my harmony attached to the pc and being logged on to my logitech software profile that help desk was able to also do some customization on my remote screen.
from www.amazon.com
the soft buttons on this unit provide an enormous amount of customization that will allow you to get the remote set up just the way you want.

Logitech Harmony 880 Universal

$140.00 Est. at Amazon

from abfazio, www.shopping.com
pros: easy to set up, customization, usability
from www.amazon.com
**if** it works, it's a fabulous remote -- downloadable device configurations and tons of customizations make it a dream -- just beware of that previously mentioned and double asterisked "if".
from www.amazon.com
the software is really easy to use and affords great customization.
from www.amazon.com
the software is fairly easy to use, and the customization of the soft menu is great.
from www.amazon.com
nevertheless, it is still fairly intuitive, but customization, if necessary, will take careful thought and probably a lot of trial and error experimentation.

Logitech Harmony® One

$275.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
quick easy setup by downloading the codes via internet and usb to the remote have permitted no-customization-needed for most any day-to-day operations.
from www.amazon.com
setting up activities (like watching tv or dvds) is intuitive yet also allows for a fair amount of customization.
from www.amazon.com
the first bad surprise comes from the lack of installation customization...
from www.amazon.com
from the ease of setup, the versatility of the device, to the level of customization i was not expecting, i am more than thrilled with the harmony one.
from www.amazon.com
from the look-and-feel, design, charger, software set up and customization, i can easily appreciate the thousands of hours of r&d that went into this beautiful device.

Universal Remote MX-650 LCD

it doesn't have the fancy color lcd of some remotes, but the extensive customization capabilities and simultaneous ir/rf ability allow it to control everything.
from www.amazon.com
pros: rf feature (i using mrf-350 base station) works flawless, ir signal strength is strong and customization is excellent.

Logitech Harmony 659 LCD

$120.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
it also allows all sorts of remote customizations using their website.
from www.amazon.com
in my opinion - it took a little while to find all the places on the web site to do more advanced customization (most people won't need to do this), but once you've been through it once, it's a snap.
from mike-palmer, www.shopping.com
the bottom line: simple to setup, but poor ergonomics and limited customization can't get me to part with my pronto.
from www.mwave.com
plus, you have plenty of customization in the lcd screen.
from skipjack2001, www.shopping.com
pros: price, customizable buttons, average sized, easy to read display cons: battery life, additional customization is tedious the bottom line: packs a wallop for the price.

the initial set up took about 15 minutes, and i've tweaked the customization a few times since then.
from www.amazon.com
that was easy to do and allows a lot of customization.
from www.amazon.com
i've gone back to using my comcast-scientific-atlanta box and remote for our regular digital tv; and for home theatre -- the multiple sony remotes i am used to for tweaking the system or customization

Logitech Harmony 890 LCD

$414.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.beachaudio.com
customization was sacraficed by the manufacturer for easy-set-up, but the initial setup was without a hitch (even for the obscure buttons on some of my more unusual components).
from www.amazon.com
you'll be updating the remote and base station alot, because the software wizards don't allow a high degree of customization.
from www.amazon.com
if you plan on doing any customizations, block off the day on your calendar.
from www.amazon.com
i spent about 4 hours total fiddling with getting all on the configuration the way i wanted - my recommendation is to work in small steps and add activities and customizations as you find you need
from www.amazon.com
there are 8 "soft" programmable buttons for further customization.
