I moved recently and my new TV setup involves an audio receiver. Using
two remote controls sucks, so I'm looking at the Logitec Harmony One and
think it's my answer.
Then I got sucked into re-evaluating Google TV. I have FiOS now and it
looks like this might actually be useful to me. But it looks like if
you have Google TV then your remote control is a keyboard, which results
in an automatic veto from the wife.
So, does anyone already have this stuff and can maybe answer a few
questions about how they play together? Can I grab both and have my
wife only use the TV, FiOS DVR, and audio receive with the remote and
then I can use Google TV when I'm "driving"?
Yes, the only trick is to make sure you send the "Live TV" key code on
exiting the GoogleTV activity on the Harmony.
I'll say that I remain mixed on my GoogleTV. The box has a lot of
promiss, which I'm hoping the Honeycomb update ("any week now") is going
to finally fulfill. But the stock firmware remains somewhat limiting.
