Have Hr-21, Sony TV, Pinoeer DVD and Tuner ?

Any suggestions, price is a factor or I'd go for one of the mega Logitec devices

There are a variety of Harmony remotes for under a hundred dollars'
Here are a couple of links.

I have this one for one of my setups and am very happy with it.

I also have this one too. Of the two I like this one better.

The Harmonies are great products and I highly recommend them.

I've got the mid-level programmable logitech harmony and love it. I've got a bose 3-2-1 DVD player that other universals couldn't control, the harmony handles it just fine. EDIT: It's the Harmoney 880.

I have the Harmony One and it is a flawless remote. It is a little pricey though.

I would love to upgrade the 360 Harmony that I have.

One day...........

When Harmony comes out with a Bluetooth capable remote, I'll get that so I can control my PS3. It is one reason I haven't upgraded. Hope. I know about the Bluetooth to IR adapter, I haven't gotten around to picking it up though.

What is the diff between H 1 and 880

dreamcastrocks · July 29th, 2008, 02:30 PM

The 1 is the newest model. No real added features, just a redesign. More people seem to like the 1's design vs. the 880.

I have the 880 and I recommend it to all my friends. Once you set it up, it is really easy to use. It has backlighting also, which was important to me. I don't know anything about the 1.

I had a lot of problems with my 360 one, not switching all of my devices and such. Once I moved into my new house, and put my AV rack near the right side of the TV, where the infared sensor is for my TV, it has worked almost flawlessly.

I still have to tweak some settings on there, but I'm bad at that. Not enough time in my day.

The ones that they are talking about are $250. You can get a Harmony for about $50. I spent $35 on mine used. Great investment to my home theatre.

Harmony's 670 has been nothing but great for me.

It may not have the flashy looks, but the marco and USB programing were a snap and it's one of the best HT purchases I've made.
