 Rating:  - A universal remote that worksThis is the first univeral remote I have ever had that actually replaces my other remotes. People seem to think the setup proceedure is complicated, I really didn't find this the case at all, you do need to know the make and model number of your equipment and it takes a while to go through the setup on the internet but it is hardly complex. It is definitely worth checking that your equipment is supported on the website before buying as it looks much more complex to teach the remote for unlisted equipment. This is a great bit of kit, does what it is supposed to, feels solid/well designed and greets ne with a friendly blue glow. Rating: - Does exactly what I wantI decided to buy a universal remote because my Viewpia TV didn't have a code for my Sky TV remote. After checking the Logitech database before I bought I found that all my equipment was listed, and therefore compatible. I didn't have any problems with the new software while installing, it works perfectly with my Vista laptop and I didn't find it slow either. The longest delay is while updating the remote which takes around 30 seconds, but only needs to be done once you've decided on all your settings. My setup comprises of the Viewpia TV, Wharfedale DVD HDD recorder, Sky TV, Acoustic Solutions Amp and XBox 360 with HD DVD player. I was a bit wary of using the Activities feature, because I'm much more used ... Read More: Rating: - It Just WorksMy wife bought this for me to cheer me up when I was ill. I have a TV, DVD player, Virgin Cable Box and Surround Amp. It works great with them despite my TV model being really obscure. Out of the box it was nigh-on perfect and with a mornings tweaking to service some of the more obscure idiosyncrasies of my TV, it is now an absolute delight. Can't look back. Don't be tempted by cheap universal remotes - This is in a different ball park - we absolutely love it. We are recommending it to our friends and family for Christmas stocking material. Rating:  - Good remote, but it could be improved.Mine recently broke, so I'm in the market for a new one, but in two mines as to whether to get the same one again. I dropped it on the floor (carpeted) and the LCD no longer functioned, making it pretty useless. It's defiantly not as robust as it could be. I'd noticed that the motion sensing that turns the backlight on when you pick it up and off when its doing nothing, seemed to fail not long after I bought it. Meaning if it doesn't switch itself off, it drains the batteries fast. It was mostly problem free otherwise, the only issue I personally had was that when switching on my television (Samsung) it wouldn't always go to the correct input channel, which meant doing it manually on the remote. Rating:  - Poor build quality spoils a nice ideaI'm all for universal remotes. I'm not even afraid of the lengthy setup that they usually need. It's an investment to save time later, after all. Unfortunately, I don't think my Harmony 525 will last very long. It wasn't long before one of the volume buttons stopped working, so I reprogrammed a different button to take its place. It's flexible like that. Then the pain started coming off the directional pad, so the light shines through where it should not. All the ink has come off the number pad, so you have to guess where the numbers are. The thing creaks terribly if you put any pressure on it. It feels like a lump of cheap plastic, especially compared to the beautiful Sky remote that it's supposed to replace. Read More: |
