Logitech Harmony Remote

Picked up one of these remotes the other day. I have to say the price was a little hard to swallow but now that I am playing with it I am lovin it. Now that I have the TV, Cable box, stereo, vcr etc all toe controll there are remote controlls all over the place.

I have not managed to pair them down to this single unit. The cool thing about this one is that it lets you make activities where it will do all the things needed to say watch TV.. Turn on the TV, set it to the correct video, turn on the stereo, turn that to the correct preset and then last turn on the cable box. All of this with the touch of one button. Very nice indeed.

The setup is handled thru the computer and you upload all the settings to the remote via USB connection. I would have to recomend this one to anyone who is looking for a way to get rid of so many remote controlls.

The one issue I have with it so far is that the button press to signal sending time seems a bit slow at times. Not as fast as the TV remote but overall the convenience outweighs this little drawback.
