Logitech Harmony 1000 Advanced Universal Remote Control

Love the Harmony 1000!

Strengths: LCD touchscreen, ease of programming, ease of use.

Weakness: Tough to access infrequently used buttons.

I bought this controller mostly to make life easier for my wife and it has, but I unexpectedly fell in love with it too! It looks awesome, everyone comments on it when they see it and I got a great deal on it with PriceGrabber. I'll never go back to multiple remotes again!

Way Better than I expected

Strengths: I really got rid of 6 complex remotes ! I put them in a cabinet and NONE of them have been needed since. That is a first !

Weakness: NONE

I am blown away. I had an old Harmony 659 that was shaped in the traditional way with regular buttons. It was good to me, but my wife could never figure it out- mostly because even with all the programming you had to do a lot of 'next' and scrolling to find the one button you were looking for. It was easier to just use the orig. remote with that older model. HOWEVER- now with this 1000 remote- I...

Logitech Harmony 1000

Strengths: Sleek design, multi-functionality, simple set-up

Weakness: Touch screen not always easy to use

This remote is nice for those wanting a cool gadget to brag about. It looks very nice and doesn't look as big as it does in the pictures. The setup is very easy. It didn't take me more than 20 minutes to setup my AV receiver, HD cable box, HDTV, and DVD player. The only downside is that I find myself having to tap the screen more than once since it's not as sensitive as I want it to be. Also you...

Logitech Harmony 1000 Advanced Universal Remote...

Strengths: Flexible interface, has potential

Weakness: No tactile feedback on touch screen (see comments) Poor LED output power (see comments) Logitech removed the XML customization from their website - you have to open a case to change the "under the hood" features and tunings.

When I bought the device I didn't think about the fact that with a classic remote there is a lot of tactile feedback - the button pattern is quickly memorized and you can snatch it up and begin selecting functions without ever looking at the remote. I took this for granted. With the touch screen, you have nearly no tactile feedback, so you constantly have to take your eyes off the monitor to look...

Stylish remote, easy to setup, very good macro...

Strengths: Bright and clear LCD touch screen, easy computer setup

Weakness: Price

The computer setup wasn't as bad as I had expected. It took a while to figure out the complexity of my home theater system, but it wasn't nearly as bad as using my older Sony remote. This product worked great on my MacBook Pro. The only negative I can think about is that it doesn't work 100% on all my components out of the box, rather about 90%.

RECALL

Strengths: NONE

Weakness: RECALL FOR BAD BATTERY AND HARD TO SETUP/USE

I THOUGHT THIS WAS A BAD BUY!!!!!!!! IT WAS HARD TO USE AND IS NOT RELIABLE. IT DOES NOT WORK WITH DISH OR DIGITAL CABLE AND IT SCREWED UP MY TV SETTINGS AND I HAD TO BUY A NEW HD TV!! $2.000 DOLLARS DOWN THE DRAIN I WAS PISSED. I TRYED TO GET IT FIXED FROM LOGITECH BUT THEY SAID THAT I USED THE PRODUCT AT MY OWN RISK. A LOAD OF BULL IF YOU ASK ME. THATS ALL

Harmony 1000 - Great concept but surprisingly too...

Strengths: Best value in the programable screen category of remotes combined with an on-line based system database that is pretty bullet proof in accommodating every conceivable combination of vendor equipment.

Weakness: The touchscreen approach is surprisingly less satisfactory than the tactile pattern of a well designed button pattern. I find the right side button far more pleasing in function than the screen.

I was surprised to find that the most enjoyable part of the unit was the standard button set on the right rather than the screen. Had I to do it over, I believe I would have chosen the better combination of small, selective programing screen with a greater fixed button pattern for most operations. This is opposite of expectations but certainly the reality after using this format. I also found the...

Not Perfect ... But One Very Cool and Highly Capable...

Strengths: - Convenient Activity Based Interface - Easy to Program - RF Capability

Weakness: - Annoying high-pitched tone when first placed on Charger - Commands are a little slow to execute from time to time - A little on the expensive side

With at least 4 remotes each in both our family room and Master Bedroom, I finally decided delve into the world of universal remotes. After a thorough online shopping expedition, I decided to purchase the Harmony 1000. It's a great remote and for the money I paid, less than $300, I feel it was a great value. Programming it was a breeze, and activity-based controls allow convenient one-touch...

One remote to rule them all??

Strengths: It's cool looking ; touch-screen

Weakness: Requires two-handed operation; base-station does not provide enough support; lame technical support; expensive

I was really hoping to like this little device. I bought it online, without really playing with it. had I done that, I might have spent my money elsewhere, or gone with a cheaper unit. I already own a Harmony 880, so was familiar with the interface and how to program it. However, I had more problems this time around. I kept on having driver issues. Apparently, you cannot just download the...

harmony 1000

Strengths: ease of use, removes remote clutter, touch screen, easy to see

Weakness: Lots of questions on remote (is this OK

I have lots of friends using my system, and with the pile of remotes, and a surround sound receiver, iPod, TV, and DVD player, it was getting confusing what settings were needed. With the harmony 1000, it is intuitive, and so far everyone has been able to pick it up and use it. It is pricey, but look for deals. At one point it was $179 with a special on-line coupon.
