The one remote solution delivered.
I have a very complex 7.1 audiophile audio/video set up: 1 Rotel preamp, 2 Rotel amps, Rotel 5 disc CD, Sony ES bluray, xbox 360, 50 inch elite plasma, an HD cable box, plus , lest we forget, an infrared Lutron dimmer (of course that doesn't include the 7 BW speakers and 2 subs!)
Total of 7 remotes some of which have a myriad of functions and controls!!!! Now I sit on my recliner, touch "watch DVD" on the MOTION ACTIVATED screen and voila! 30,000 dollars worth of electronic equipment come to life in concert doing exactly what I want to do with ONE STROKE.
Even better, most of the big components are in an out of view component cabinet that is not anywhere to be seen, with the IR wireless extender its no problem at all, it even controls my dimmer across the room! Programming is so darned easy its almost a sin and not only does it include a basic manu of functions it has essentially all the functions of the individual component remote! There is no doubt that this is not a cheap remote but it sure is second to none. It is more functional and simple to use than proffesional grade auditorium remotes that cost thousands of dollars and which dont have half the configurability of this remote. Truely a great piece of kit.
Best remote on the market

The Harmony 1100 is by far the best universal remote on the market. It looks great in black. The software is really easy to use and programming all 15 Electronic products I needed it to control, took me only 20 min. I would highly recommend this remote even at the $ 499 retail. Buy it from Amazon, you will not regret this purchase.

This is a great remote control that has met all my expectations, and allows my wife to operate the home audio system with ease. Set up was straight forward, although the model of my Sony carousel CD/DVD player (DVP-CX985V) was not recognised. However that problem was overcome with the use of the DVD player remote, and most routine operations work fine. I need to learn more about the remote yet, and if I spend more time I'm sure I'll be able to get the remote to control more of the more complex operations.

Overall, I'd definitely recommend this remote for those who want a simple means of controlling their home theatre system with a single remote.

I purchased this remote to replace my older harmony remote. There was nothing wrong with my old one but I just purchased a Samsung Plasma and figured I needed a new gadget and liked the touch screen, screen size and versatility of this remote. I also purchased the PS3 adapter and RF extender.

I first tried to setup the remote on a new iMac but seemed to run into a catch 22 there. When you attach the remote to the USB the computer sees it as a network device and wants to assign it to Eth2. The problem is once that happens it kept losing connection to the internet since it was trying to use its own ethernet port instead of the wireless connection to get out on the net. I figured I'd try it on Windows XP and see how that worked.

On XP it still sees it as a network device but just worked better and was able to connect fine. I went through the setup the first time but it didn't take the RF extender for some reason. Unfortunately on the first setup you can't go back and change things. I also wanted to add my Onkyo receiver but you cannot add until you do the first setup. I completed everything then it let me go back to add the items. I got everything setup and the remote, PS3 and extender work perfect. I have it controlling my Tivo Series 3 HD, Onkyo receiver, PS3 and Samsung Plasma.

The remote has a nice solid feel and texture to it and the screen is easy to read. Despite the OS X setup hiccups I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a great Universal remote.

Also you can customize the buttons on the screen, add favorites and more. I have more setup to do once I figure out what buttons the default wizard setups do not install that I actually use. The nice thing is you can add/remove/rearrange buttons based on how you use the devices. Very cool. My old harmony served me well but this one is way better!
Technology Finally Catches Up With Concept!

Reviewer: NJPerkins,
A full featured universal remote that is easily setup via the PC and extremely fun. The last "universal" remote with scripting capabilities that I purchased was a Sony Commander several years ago. Difficult to script, and a primitive text-based touch screen, it was still the closest to what I was looking for. However, it was so difficult to script a series of on-off commands for different components, that I never did more than 1.

The Harmony, however, changes all that. There have been previous models, but this is the first I have tried. It is absolutely amazing in the catalog of devices it understands, and I successfully setup scripts for 4 different "activities" in my first sitting. It even allows you to chose certain components that are "always on" (like my Sat receiver) if you want.

The screen is bright and easy to see, and the fact that it has motion detection so that it lights up when you pick it up is just great. As the title of this review states, technology has finally caught up with the concept of a universal remote for scripted setup of your entire Entertainment system. I love it.

My only reservation is that I didn't see why you are required setup an internet account as part of the setup, but with a device as slick and functional as this, I regard that as a minor curiosity at worst.
