Default Logitech harmony one remote

I've got quite a few remotes for the av equipment, ps3 etc so I'm looking at getting q universal one that controls the lot. Seen a logitech harmony one and also they do a 555 model.

Does anyone have experience with either... Any good? Or is it worth spending a bit more on one...

Thanks

Harmony one is AMAZING! I have one in every room I have kit. Just superb.

Easy to set up and use.

You do need to force yourself to use it for first week. Hide your Sky controller and MAKE yourself get used to Harmony.

You soon get used to it!

Bigger ones dont work as well as you can't hold them in one hand and operate 'using the force' ie without looking

Oh thats right.... forgot to say.

You need to have an IQ of over 3 to be able to use one.

Hence Dave thinks they are crap and doesnt understand them.

meooow!


I actually understand them PERFECTLY, and the concept is great. Just no good to me when it constantly forgets tasks and requires me to reprogram/learn it everytime. Execution is pony though, ESPECIALLY if you use the sky coloured buttons a lot.

Lee, when I find* mine, you can have it... add it to your collection!






*just bought a new house so everything still in boxes

Cheers Lee.

I've got PS3 remote for blurays but doesn't look like it can replace this. So still left with 2 remotes which defeats the object really...
