So for the next instalment of product testing on my Logitech Harmony One.
Well it's been a while and I was hoping to report better news.... but sadly not yet...
Remote can do simple tasks, such as changing channels volume etc... but switching between inputs on my TV has been too much for it.
I then tried to fix it using help... no dice
Tried to fix it using the software, which was cool as I could "teach" it from the TV remote... but then the update took forever... and then didn't take... Well if at first you don't succeed try, try again... although I may just use my other remotes over Christmas... much less frustrating...

More Harmony
Well I finally gave up and just plugged in my product testing Harmony One remote... there was no green light after a looong time...
The software set up was fairly easy and everything worked fine. So far there are only a few issues that I will be trying to work out today.
First - Can I get the subtitles from my set top box to work without having to use the individual remote? I'm not deaf but sometimes they just mumble into their chests on American shows... but this is another story...
Second - The preset stations on the radio don't seem to be working.... pretty sure there's a way to trial and error and fix this... just got to find it.
Third - Is my system just not complicated enough to require an all - in - one remote?
Another side issue I have is the amount of packaging that I can't put into the recycling.... come on Logitech, surely in this day of sustainability you can address this?
Stay tuned for my mother's verdict as we try to use it for prime time watching tonight!

In Harmony
I was scanning the Logitech page on Facebook when I saw they were giving people a chance to test the new Harmony One remote. Since I had been ogling it in shops for ages I decided to try my luck!
Well I did manage to be picked to be one of their product testers and I was really excited to get the remote. It needs to be configured using software (and a computer of course) and the instructions advised setting aside 30 mins to set it up.
So I have finally found a 1/2 hr window to sit down and set things up, but I find I need to let it charge.... and no where does it say how long charging takes... Guess I'm waiting for the little light to turn green!
