I have the Harmony 520 (the buttons are starting to not work), so I'm thinking about getting the Harmony One. One of the complaints I have with the 520 is that I have a cable box with one input to the TV and an Apple TV on another TV input. I have an activity button for "watch TV" and one for "watch Apple TV". If you end up turning the TV off before switching input to Cable TV, the Harmony gets kind of "tangled" and then the Activities buttons don't work right until I manually turn the TV on/off...
I have an older 880 which is fine. I want to get an additional remote and the 880 is available at Amazon--for about $230! Is this "One" the new top of the line remote?
I've seen a lot of stuff on how to add icons for favorite channels, but I can't find anything on how to add custom icons for soft buttons on the remote. Does anyone know how to do this, or if it's even possible?
Had been using a Harmony One, nice remote but i need to replace it or get something else. Anyone that can recommend something better then the Harmony One? Was thinking of trying the Peel or another iOS remote solution since i have both an iPhone and iPad.
I have a Harmony 880 that has now been dropped enough times that it is getting to be time to be replaced. The Harmony One looks to be a good successor, but I've seen several comments that setup is difficult. I haven't been in the Logitech setup in some time, does the Harmony One use the same type of setup that the 880 did, or have they changed it significantly? Thanks Matt
I ask because I had a Harmony remote about three years ago, and this seems like something that would be inherent with how the product is meant to work. After I'd set my remote up (with the frustrating web site), often while using the remote something wouldn't turn on or get to the right input. I would then have to step through that annoying "something went wrong" screen (I think that's what it was called, I can't remember), and tell it which device turned on and which didn't and which inputs...

TiVo just released theirs, the Boxee remote has one on the backside, Google TV is going to be heavily keyboard based. It seems like now is the time for a new Harmony. I really love my Harmony One and only using a single remote but more and more I wish I had a full keyboard for all of my devices.
My missus stood on the thing. Unbelievable. What now? It's still under warranty, but there's probably an exclusion for not being covered if your wife stands on it. Is paying full price for a replacement my only option?
The touch screen buttons seem a little slow when trying to tap the same button multiple times (turn down the channel volume on my receiver). The delay is independent from the device command delay and seems to be more than 1 second. It would be great if the button would repeat when I press and hold.
I've owned my Harmony One for a couple of months now and really love it aside from one thing. On a fairly regular basis my remote will restart it's self. When it does it loses its Date and Time settings and goes back to the activity screen. I've noticed it occur after setting it down on a hard surface i.e. my coffee table. I'm not dropping it or being rough with it by any means so I'm surprised such little force could cause it to restart. It's hardly a deal breaker but an...

It is always slow to start up new activities and I understand this as it takes the TV a moment to start up and switching TV/receiver inputs needs to wait for the power cycles. But for me, sometimes it takes over 30 seconds to gain control of the remote, even when the activity is running on all devices. This happens frequently for me. Is this common or is it just me? Is there a possibility this could be fixed w/ a firmware update?
NOTE:This is a double post, but it seems fitting for both the Logitech Harmony One and Xbox 360 Support Forums... I copied my questions from the 360 to here: Anyone here have both an Xbox 360 and a HTPC? Currently I have a Mac Mini running Win 7 RC and it uses the IR codes for the apple remote. This is great, except i cant use Windows Media Center, which i have accessing a shared network drive to a different PC that is acting like a TV server. What I want to do is cut the Media Center extender...
