 Works Great December 2, 2008
Easy to program, easy to use, ergonomic...it has the keys where they should be. I am not giving 5 stars because I would love to be able to modify the menus for each device when I activate devices.
Strongly recommended
 The best REMOTE yet December 1, 2008
I have been using this remote for over a month now. Not one complaint. The best thing about Harmony is their CUSTOMER SERVICE. It is by far the best there is on the net.
best remote...EVER December 1, 2008
Amazingly simple to set up. Works like a champ. Flawlessly controls tv, dvd, a/v receiver, and DISH satellite box. Setup took only minutes to complete, and was easily customized to match my preferences. Had a Phillips Pronto before, Logitech blows it away. Best part is, everyone in the household can use it!
Harmony One universal remote control November 29, 2008
I like the fact that this unit has a removable, rechargeable, battery. Unlike a lot of products, if the battery fails it will be easy and cheap to replace.
I found that the initial setup pretty straightforward. It took perhaps 45 minutes for the first attempt. I then had to go back a couple of times to make minor adjustments. Editing the settings is simple.
The default settings for controlling the various components work very well. I found that all of the common commands are available as a push button. Less frequently used commands are accessed using soft keys on the touch screen.
My biggest dislike is the feel of the unit. It has an ergonomic shape that positions your hand for pushing the most commonly used buttons. But the numeric keypad is located too low on the unit so it is difficult to push the numbers while holding the unit in one hand and the touch screen is located too high for one handed use. I end up using two hands to push the numeric keys or to use the touch screen. The vol and channel up/down keys are better located so channel surfing one handed works OK. The keys are a bit on the small side and have a very short throw with a noticeable click to them.
I don't much care for the very shiny finish on the unit. It makes it look a bit cheap, which at nearly $200 it is not. At that price this is a luxury item for me and is a bit hard to justify buying. But it did allow me to get four remote controls off of my coffee table. Cheaper universal remotes that I have tried in the past where not worth the trouble. This one does do what they claim.
Solid, as far as universal remotes go November 28, 2008
I was a very early user of this product and have been fairly pleased with it now that I've gotten used to a few minor glitches.
Setup is a bit complicated--you need to connect it to your computer via an included USB cable and identify all of your electronic components by Model Number, as well as what port they're all hooked into (e.g. my directTV DVR is in my TV's HDMI port #1 and XBox 360 is in HDMI port #2). Once that's done, the remote works as advertised--a nice touch screen lets you "Watch TiVo" or "Play XBox" with one click--adjusting the TV, audio system, and various components. It *does* take a while (5 seconds?) for it to send all of the commands to the various devices and, if you're not pointing the remote at the device when it's sending the message, your device might miss the message. In that case, the Harmony One remote has a useful "Help" button, which almost always is able to correct the problem fairly quickly.
My one complaint here has to do with the design: too many important buttons are accessible via the touch screen. For example, I use the "List" button and the "Blue" button for my DirectTV DVR very frequently ("List" shows me all of my DVR-recorded shows and "Blue" lets me cycle through other channels while watching a program). Because these are only accessible via the densely packed touch screen, I regularly hit incorrect buttons, which puts my TV into a funny state. It's very annoying and so it's therefore more work to press these buttons...
My remote also seems to have a bug in that it regularly loses the time (the remote has a clock on it which is frequently wrong for me). Not a big deal, though, since it's purely a cosmetic feature.
Overall, this Harmony One is a solid device with a few minor quirks.
