I agree they are the best and I've tried most. The only problem is that the hardware can be a bit flimsy but the software is excellent. They are now owned by Logitech so maybe the hardware build will get better

Oct. 12, 2005 - I love my harmony remote (608 I think)

Posted by charlie
I think my harmony remote is the 608. I love it. Not only does it control everything in my theatre w/out any issues. When an issue comes up the customer service at Logitech has been wonderful.

My Harmony remote is about 4 or 5 months old. It is color w/ all the cool macros that we all expect. I push the button titled "Watch TV via Replay" and boom... it's all there. Gotta love it. :-)
