While I have only had the remote for a few days, it is by far the greatest remote that I have ever had! The set up was so easy! I just had to read the model numbers off of the front of my equipment, write them down, enter them into the software once I downloaded it, and then go thru the easy step by step set up process. Then, I found that there were a few things that I liked about my old remotes and therefore needed to custiomize the new remote. It was so easy to go back and do it! The remote really does do every function of every other remote that I have. I now actually only need one remote control. No other remote that promised that actually delivered. The only bad thing is that I had to pay $60 for an adapter for my PS3.
What's great about it: Ease of setup and perfect use!

I have had this remote for approximately a year. . . can't say enough about it. It does everything that it should and then some. I have a LG 42" LCD and a LG Blu Ray and works great with both. Just added a MOXI box and has no problem doing everything that a remote should. Just added a SONY Sound Bar and haven't had any problems with that either. All in all it is worth getting to get rid of all the other remotes.

The set up was a little confusing at first but I persisted and the set up went through very easily and after a day or two the whole family understood how to work the remote. It took about 45 minutes to program everything.
The only I have is that my Bose Lifestyle 50 doesn't work with the remote because it is an RF and not an IR. This is more a Bose issue than a Logitech. The issue is that on the web site it said that the Bose IS compatible but you need a $200 converter. Not good. So Instead of 4 remotes, I'll have 2. Better but not totally complete.
What's great about it: Works Good
What's not so great: Doesn't work with BOSE LIFESTYLE systems

I am very happy with my remote. It was set up by the geek squad so I really don't know about programming it. I just know that it meets my needs. It also comes with a charger which will save money on batteries.

The final setup exceeded my expectations of having all my controls on one remote. To program the remote, it muct be connected to a computer having internet access. Unfortunately, using the automatic on-line setup menu found at logitech.com did not complete the job. Some buttons such as on and off did not work. The problem, the automatic set up assumed on and off were separate functions. Changing the on and off to toggle corrected the problem. Some buttons were not assigned or did not match the original remote that came with two of the controlled equipment. One fix involved dragging the unassigned function from the listed functions found at logitech.com to the picture of the harmony 700 inactive button. The other fix involved pressing the missing function button found on the orignal remote when instructed to do by the advance online setup program. The original remote must be aimed at the sensor located at the end of the harmony 700 remote for this latter method to work.
The equiptment controlled by this harmony remote includes an eight year old Kenwood receiver, a new sony blue ray player with WiFi, a new Philips LCD TV and the Comcast Channel Box.
What's great about it: Does everything, I want the remote to do.
What's not so great: Wish it came with a cradle to recharge the battery like the more expensive models instead of the USB cable charger.

Very good remote to handle many components at once. Not use to having to recharge a remote, though, but that's not a real problem. I bought this to replace an older Harmony remote, and it was trivial to simply update the softwarefor the new remote - all my original settings transferred flawlessly.

Associate guaranteed me I'd be satisfied buying this affordable universal remote. He said it would be very easy to set up, would work with all my components and that I would like it as much as the more expensive brands. He was right.
