I just picked up a Logitech Harmony 670 and so far love it. The button layout for play, pause, rewind, fast-forward aren't as good as a TiVo remote (which is perfect) but I'll get used to it. The Harmony One has those buttons in a better layout, but I couldn't justify spending over $100 more just for moved buttons. We have just upgraded our TV, A/V receiver, surround speakers, various cables and wall plates, and I added a sub. I've already spent too much money.
If anyone is considering a Harmony right now, I just picked mine up refurbished from http://www.dealmonger.com/ for $56 shipped. It arrived quickly, in perfect condition. MSRP is $150. (The invoice though is from channelvelocity.com?) They also have the 520, 676, and 720. No affiliation, satisfied customer, etc., yadda, blah... I sure wish I could have found such a good price on a One but I'm trying not to dwell on that. ________________________________ From: Ron Koms <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, November 15, 2008 3:36:00 PM Subject: RE: [TiVo Central] Logitech Harmony Yes, touch screen was an attractive factor. But I would say the main reason was the button layout. Like the volume/mute and channel up/down, very bad location on the 880. But in the "just right" spot on the Harmony ONE. Play/pause in a much better spot too on the Harmony ONE... The Harmony ONE also drops into the charger better and Makes a MUCH MUCH better (charging contacts) connection.. . Wife and daughter LOVE the Harmony ONE much better too!
