Recommended it? Yes

After buying a new flatscreen TV then hooking up our game console, DVD player, VCR, and stereo system, we had 5 remote controls to deal with. Even our modest setup required remembering how our devices are interconnected then using 2 or 3 remote controls just to be able to watch TV.

I'll preview this review by saying:
Remote - 4 stars
Method of programming remote - zero stars

The Logitech Harmony series of remotes rely on a web-based interface to set up the remote. When reading other reviews, it wasn't clear that this actually means "web interface" not... Read full review »

Recommended it? Yes

Pretty much every household has more than one device at home with a remote control. That can get out of hand very quickly when shuffling between them is a hassle and worse yet, the one needed is suddenly missing. It may not qualify as essential, but the Harmony 550 struck my sweet spot in a near... Read full review »

"Stupid universal remotes. They'll never understand me", I'd grumble disdainfully as I ripped open a new 20-pack of AA batteries. "They just don't get it. MY setup is different!"

That's true. My home theater setup is different, in the same way as everyone else's in 2006. We have DVD, PVR,... Read full review »
