Harmony at last....

So I finally found sometime after the Christmas rush to get the snarling remote to behave... took a bit of trial and error and investigation through the software but I go there.

So far everything is tickety boo. Everything is working to my satisfaction... now to teach everyone else how to use it.,....

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!
