Logitech Harmony 1100 Universal Remote Review

If you like your remote with more buttons and with something resembling a traditional look and feel then the Logitech Harmony 895 is what you need. It even has the red, green blue and yellow teletext buttons and offers all the functionality of this one, just without the touch screen.

I'm with Simon Johns on this. I have a Harmony 895, and it solves both important problems :
1) It manages all the various setup sequences between SKY/Virgin/Xbox/iPod Music/AV-AMP/TV while all my gear is hidden from view.
2) My wife just has one gadget she recognises as a remote control and so doesn't complain about complex (or perceivably expensive) technology in the living room!

I've owned 3 Prontos before getting a Harmony One. While the Pronto is infinately customisable (right down to making my own graphics in Photoshop) it took me 30 hours (!!) to set up for my system. I used to dread buying new AV kit because I'd have to set up the remote.

The Harmony took me 3 hours set set up perfectly, although it was usable after 30 minutes. Hard button remotes are the way to go and, at £90, the One is a bargain.

@Digital Fury: If this PS3 transceiver from Logitech never surfaces, there are a number of devices available that will perform the same job:

I've had an IR4PS3 for over a year and it's an awesome device.
