About Pronto CODE support which is STILL the standard by which many manufacturers release their remote codes for customers to use on replacement remotes. <$50 one-for-all remotes & $5 in parts still trump anything logitech has. All these blow-offs are because none of you have ever dealt with JP

Bino, Thanks for the shout. OK, I think I have it. Pronto is too expensive. Look at Harmony; except maccrawj does not care for Logitech. That is my read ATM. Some $$$ and personal bias bashing is going on. Fine. This I expect here. At this point I am frightened to do anything. I will continue with

Duncan, I can't say for sure but there should be no reason to get a Pronto or anything that expensive; and a lot of maccrawj's complaints seemed to be about the Pronto specifically (please correct me if I'm wrong), and that's the old tech; even the 1000 is a bit old now. Anyway, the Harmony One (~

OK. Perhaps I misunderstood. Is there some other choice between Pronto and Harmony? Yes, the Pronto is still very pricey to my view.. :) Duncan tmse...@rlrnews.com wrote: No, if your going to spend like that, grab a harmony 1000. At less then $500, nothing compares. Sent via BlackBer

Understand S.A.F. I do not have this worry, but I am living with 6 remotes. Plus I have none of the modern conveniences and media channels that most on this list use. I still have yet to select an AV Rcvr. I get the impression that there are 2 strong camps here; Logitech Harmony and the olde

None of these reasons impacts me in the least little bit. It took all of 30 minutes to set my Harmony One up for control my stuff and free me from constant remote hell. If I never need something in particular not on the user-community provided menus I can grab the device remote. I have plenty

Suggestion: Run away from Harmony! When Logitech bought them out they removed all advanced direct access to the remotes programming code. End result is you are at their mercy when it comes to getting codes that don't exist in their "community support" database (read: added by other endlusers b
