Where Harmony really excels for us, is when we have things that don't really talk to each other. For instance, we have a Harmony Hub control TV, Bluray and a Mu-so. The Mu-so is connected to the TV for sound. Because our TV doesn't communicate well over HDMI ARC, we have Harmony control the

I also have two Harmony units, but continue to prefer the JP1 remotes, the 8820 cited above was/is really the most perfect remote in the hand, almost as good as the TIVO remotes. But 1000% more useful. The RCA RCRP05BR and the Inteset 4 in 1 are also excellent. I even have a few URC-6131s,

I use RDP since 2019 and I have never had such problems. The most important thing is to update your system in time. Laowait's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=71393 View this thread:

Another vote for the One-For-All remotes. I've never owned or used a Harmony, so I don't know what I'm missing, but I have a couple of One-For-All 8's which work very well. They have a learning function, and the JP1 software allows me to backup/clone/restore a fully configured remote very

Maybe a lone dissenting voice, but I never really got on with my Harmony remote. After struggling to get it working in the way I wanted I ended up buying some One-for-All (UIC) remotes which can be very flexibly re-programmed / hacked using a home made addaptor and "JP1" software. To be honest

This is very, very bad news! All the multimedia systems of my family and friends are controlled by these remote controls (Harmony 6xx). The creation of "activities" is great and essential. This avoids having to juggle multiple remote controls (TV, amplifier, multimedia player ...) and it
