 Good stuff.... August 28, 2008
Mr. Daniel E. Marshall (Leeds, UK)
Received the product today, very impressed.
Looks the business and works great.
I had a minor issue to do with not being able to select from menus in Sky Digital, and although it didn't pick up the control mapping out of the box (Everything else did: TV, DVD, AVR), after a call to Tech Support, I was able to map the right command.
The way in which the control troubleshoots is superb. For some reason my TV wasn't turning on or off, after a few questions along the lines of "Now is it working?" and it going off and trying something else, it fixed it.
Tech support were really efficient, which bodes well for other Logitech devices. As a brand I find them excellent, I've been using their keyboards and mice for years, so it's nice to know the first time I had to contact them that they delivered.
Only one negative thing to point out that I didn't realise previously, and it's hardly Logitech's fault, you won't be able to control a Sony PS3.
May only be first day gloss, but hey, it inspired me to write something here.....
 Beautiful hardware, terrible software June 25, 2008

I'm editing my review because after some use, I've figured out ways around the issues I had before.
I came from a Philips Pronto to this, so it was a shock to see how most of the options were done for me by Logitech. Long story short: Logitech automates the entire process for better or worse, and when you haven't quite figured it out, it's for the worse. However, once you learn the logitech logic, you can work around certain issues and the results are AMAZING.
The software doesn't work on my laptop, had to install it on the PC and even then I had to disable the firewall/antivirus. The software is annoying in that it's totally online. Meaning all your setup is done via an interface that connects online to Logitech and the software is based there. You can't therefore save different variations. Every change you make, you have to undo if you don't like it or it doesn't work. You can't simply revert to a previous backup.
Also, no way to simulate how the remote works like with the pronto, you have to update the remote.
Worse: if you have a RF extender, you have to update that first as well! and both things take a long while. Stupid having to unplug the RF extender each time for changes that do not affect the RF extender. And what's with the "connect" button?
Anyway, that aside, the remote works wonderfully and intelligently. The screen is outstanding, and it even has a slideshow and personalised wallpaper. A bit of tweaking and you'll have this working everything. I wouldn't be without it now, but you do have to learn how to get around the difficulties caused by Logitech-enforced rules. But it's doable and the end result is faultless.
No crashing, no problems at all. Only thing is it screams when you first put it into the charging base while the screen does the slideshow. No biggy.
 Easy Peasey! May 29, 2008

I can't believe how easy this remote was to set up. I was using an old 'one for all' remotes and I decided to splash the cash on a top remote. It didn't take me too long to set up, it found my products straight away and I love the way the activies work. Once I set it up on my computer I updated my remote and all I do is press one button to watch sky or dvd or play my 360. Turns my tv & amp into the correct inputs on each activity and it remembers what I did last.
It's a sexy looking remote, my mates are jealous! Haven't had any problems with it freezing, there is new software which aparently has fixed the problem so go get the latest software if you've had issues!

Having used 5 different remotes for the last 12 months I thought it was time to get into the 21st Century. A techie friend of mine recommended the Harmony 1000 to me and quite frankly I've never looked back. In fact, I can't believe I didn't get a Harmony sooner!
The set-up and connection was utterly effortless and very straightforward. Just a bit of question answering and input - all done very quickly. The one-touch control is really easy to use and the large colour screen makes functionality and navigation a breeze. Aside from that I also think that it looks visually impressive - a very cool piece of kit!
Touch wood I haven't had any issues with the control freezing but I did check this before buying and was told that this issue had been resolved with a recent software update. I was also reassured about my purchase recently after noticing HiFi had given it 5 stars.
