Has anybody here ever had a Logitech harmony universal remote ?
I've never had a universal remote. I always thought they'd be a bit of a compromise and you'd need the old remote for some things.
But this thing ? WOW !! Blew my mind.
15mins to setup, and it controls EVERYTHING even my cheap shit foreign DVD player I use to play regional encoded DVDs.
The shortcuts are brilliant. Press "watch foxtel" and it turns on the tv the foxtel box and changes the input on the tv !? Then the control, controls both at once. So if I change channels it changes the box but if I change the volume, it changes the tv.
The touch screen has icons of all your favorite stations and incorporates gesture control, so you don't have to look at it, swipe up volume up, swipe down volume down, swipe right channel up and so on.
I have 4 devices (2 that record)(and ones a pretty rare VAST box) plus a tv and a receiver and I'm yet to find a function it doesn't support.
Get one in your life.
Brilliant.
