Logitech Harmony 1000 Advanced Universal Remote (Silver)

The Logitech Harmony 1000 features a brilliant 3.5-inch color touch screen that allows for one-touch activity-based control of even the most sophisticated A/V components. Say goodbye to the inconvenience of multiple remotes controlling multiple devices; Logitech's patented Smart State Technology makes it easy to control your HDTV, adjust aspect ratios, or change sound modes?there are no complicated macros to program. Just press an on-screen activity icon and Harmony does the rest. One remote is all you'll need to control even the most complex home entertainment systems. And when used together with a Harmony RF Wireless Extender (sold separately), you can further reduce clutter by placing your components out of sight. Since the remote can transmit both infrared and radio frequency commands, you can control equipment inside a cabinet or even in the next room.

I own several Logitech Remotes and they all work great. The Harmony 1000 is by far the best remote I ever owned. Large viewing screen for the over 50 generation, feels great in your hands with the non slip backing.Programing was easy with the included software.If your looking for a remote that controls everthing, buy this one.You can't beat the price that Amazon has to offer, I have seen it in stores for almost double what Amazon sells it for. Thanks Again Logitech & Amazon.

I bought the remote for easy control of TV components in a hidden cabinet along with control of some home automation lighting control. The short story is that I went in circles being mislead by Logitech tech support for about 5 hours of my time (total). It wasn't until I asked for an answer in writing that I got the truth and the truth is that the 1000 is not fully compatible with the RF extender. It will not support home automation unless it is IR (though there are a few home automation IR products almost all of them are RF). I ended up returning this and getting the 890. The 890 with the RF extender was about $200 less expensive and even if the 1000 had the z-wave capability after using both I like the 890 better anyway.

I have had this remote for three months now. It runs very slow and often requires reboots because the software is junk. Go buy anything else, especially if you want something that will actually control z-wave lighting systems because this won't do it even though they advertised it to do so.

I received this remote for Christmas this year and it is the greatest remote. It controls a Panasonic DLP tv, Onkyo receiver, Direct TV HD receiver, Panasonic DVD Recorder, and my blinds! Before my wife could never figure out how to switch the tv from satellite to DVD and now she's got it. I think the people that put a bad review on this, do not understand new technology. I have tried other name brand remotes before this and none of them compare. The setup was extremely easy and the fact that it has a docking station is such a good idea. My last universal remote ran through batteries once a week because of the video display. I would highly recommend. The only thing to add is the fact that it will not control the Playstation 3 without buying an additional device to convert the bluetooth to IR. I am still trying to figure out if this remote can control my ceiling fan which I do not think it can because of the RF technology it uses but everything else is great.

I know what it's like looking around for a review that actually speaks to you. You try your best to avoid the ones that babble on about the technical aspect of something you are interested in. Well here is a simple man's review for a great universal remote. I have like, 7 remotes on my coffee table. We looked around at a lot of Christmas gifts for other people, and I had no idea what I wanted for me. I personally don't care that I have a bunch of remotes, but my wife has no clue how to turn on a DVD. So I looked into all these universal remotes to clear the clutter, and I came in on the top 3 of the Logitech models: the Harmony One (the long one in black), the Harmony 880 (the long one in silver, which was my intention at the time), and this Harmony 1000, which was marked at $500 when I saw it, then $400 at Best Buy..and now it's at a great price. Anyway, after doing my research I bought this one. And there were so many people complaining that it doesn't work on a Mac, and it takes so long to configure, and all these things that I got kind of skeptical. Well, let me honestly tell you that this is the sweetest thing I have ever bought for my wife and myself. It's tiny, and fun to play with. You open the box it comes in and connect it to your PC, Mac, whatever. The only work you have to do is look at your TV, Blu-Ray player, DVD player, Cable box, whatever you have, and write down the model number and brand, which are usually all on the front. When this goes to setup on your computer you just enter in your products and model types. There's no fishing around for what you think you have and having to search through long lists of companies to maybe or maybe not find your stuff around the entertainment center. It asks you what settings your TV/receiver need to be on for your stuff to work and confirms it with you. When you try it out, it couldn't make life easier. With one touch you press "Watch a DVD" and the TV turns on the setting or input it needs to be on, turns the DVD player on, turns the receiver where it needs to be. Some people might laugh and say, "DUH", but I had no clue these things are that well-designed. I was worried there would be things it couldn't do that my Cox Cable remote could, but nope. DOES EVERYTHING! You still go to the software on your computer to add favorite channels, and do whatever else you want. The only disadvantages are: this model compared to the 880, (long and silver), is that the other one doesn't need the RF extender, which is what you use if you want to control your TV from somewhere else in the house. But why are you going to use your TV remote from the master bathroom? I don't know, some people like that. The other is that this does not control the Wii or PS3, because they both use bluetooth technology and ALL universal remotes are incompatible. But it does work with the Xbox 360. By the way, I have had zero problems...even after the girl at Best Buy put a hex on us because I didn't get the Best Buy warranty for it. So at the end of the day, who wouldn't want a touch-screen remote that is easy to use and makes everyone happy???
