I also use a Harmony for my SB from time to time, but I must admit that
I can't recommend it - not because it doesn't support the SB (it does),
but because the products - imho - are bad:-( I bought it because the
concept is great, but as time goes by my impression with how it works
gets worse:

1) Totally opposite the Squeeze* products, Logitech has chosen a
completely closed approach for development of Harmony. No open source,
no chance to look behind the scenes, and no way to change or even look
at the IR-codes manually - highly relevant in a lot of cases.
This approach also means that once you bought your Harmony, you aren't
likely to get any new features. They are only implemented in new
products.

2) This could be ok if everything just worked - after all many
companies share this policy - but my Harmony (895) is unstable and I am
still having a hard time getting it to consistently send one code
instead of two - this applies to codes I taught it myself as well as
codes that are in the database.

3) The hardware quality (specifically the buttons) is not impressive to
say the least.

I would highly recommend browsing the Harmony forums before buying one
- after all, it's a pretty expensive remote!
