SMK can do it, but Logitech still wants to sell me separate box. Hopefully they'll come out with a IR/BT combo soon. Then they get my $150.]]>Sep 3rd 2009 8:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/logitech-aims-for-a-chicken-in-every-pot-a-remote-in-every-hand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/logitech-aims-for-a-chicken-in-every-pot-a-remote-in-every-hand/
Logitech has put out a Harmony® Adapter for PLAYSTATION®3 that works with all Harmony remotes; it's $60.

I haven't used it myself so I don't know how well it works.]]>Sep 3rd 2009 9:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/logitech-aims-for-a-chicken-in-every-pot-a-remote-in-every-hand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/logitech-aims-for-a-chicken-in-every-pot-a-remote-in-every-hand/Sep 3rd 2009 10:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/logitech-aims-for-a-chicken-in-every-pot-a-remote-in-every-hand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/logitech-aims-for-a-chicken-in-every-pot-a-remote-in-every-hand/Sep 4th 2009 8:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/logitech-aims-for-a-chicken-in-every-pot-a-remote-in-every-hand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/logitech-aims-for-a-chicken-in-every-pot-a-remote-in-every-hand/
I own the Logitech Harmony 800, paid 70 euros for it while Logitech was still selling it for 140. It's a decent product with great features, but the buildquality is not what you'd expect of such an expensive product. Plastic, loose buttons and a cheap screen.. 50$ perhaps..]]>Sep 3rd 2009 4:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/logitech-aims-for-a-chicken-in-every-pot-a-remote-in-every-hand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/logitech-aims-for-a-chicken-in-every-pot-a-remote-in-every-hand/
I have owned a 510 and currently use a 610 and my uncle has owned a 520 and currently uses a 880

Harmony remotes are awesome, the only reason I upgraded it is after 3+ years of daily use I kinda killed the pause button.]]>Sep 3rd 2009 4:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/logitech-aims-for-a-chicken-in-every-pot-a-remote-in-every-hand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/logitech-aims-for-a-chicken-in-every-pot-a-remote-in-every-hand/Sep 3rd 2009 11:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/logitech-aims-for-a-chicken-in-every-pot-a-remote-in-every-hand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/logitech-aims-for-a-chicken-in-every-pot-a-remote-in-every-hand/
Honestly, the One is the worst of the 3. And the 659 lasted for 4 years. The 880 lasted a little over a year (just long enough that it was no longer warranteed). The One has been going strong for almost a year now, but I don't have much faith that it'll be better.]]>Sep 3rd 2009 4:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/logitech-aims-for-a-chicken-in-every-pot-a-remote-in-every-hand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/logitech-aims-for-a-chicken-in-every-pot-a-remote-in-every-hand/Sep 3rd 2009 12:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/logitech-aims-for-a-chicken-in-every-pot-a-remote-in-every-hand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/logitech-aims-for-a-chicken-in-every-pot-a-remote-in-every-hand/Sep 3rd 2009 4:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/logitech-aims-for-a-chicken-in-every-pot-a-remote-in-every-hand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/logitech-aims-for-a-chicken-in-every-pot-a-remote-in-every-hand/
The One sits in a draw collecting dust while a $20 universal remote takes responsibility for all my media equipment.]]>Sep 3rd 2009 4:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/logitech-aims-for-a-chicken-in-every-pot-a-remote-in-every-hand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/logitech-aims-for-a-chicken-in-every-pot-a-remote-in-every-hand/Sep 3rd 2009 9:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/logitech-aims-for-a-chicken-in-every-pot-a-remote-in-every-hand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/logitech-aims-for-a-chicken-in-every-pot-a-remote-in-every-hand/Sep 3rd 2009 9:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/logitech-aims-for-a-chicken-in-every-pot-a-remote-in-every-hand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/logitech-aims-for-a-chicken-in-every-pot-a-remote-in-every-hand/Both are a joy to use and the programming bit can be a bit of a pain, but it's far the most powerful and flexible remote I have ever used.]]>Sep 3rd 2009 4:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/logitech-aims-for-a-chicken-in-every-pot-a-remote-in-every-hand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/logitech-aims-for-a-chicken-in-every-pot-a-remote-in-every-hand/Sep 3rd 2009 5:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/logitech-aims-for-a-chicken-in-every-pot-a-remote-in-every-hand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/logitech-aims-for-a-chicken-in-every-pot-a-remote-in-every-hand/Sep 3rd 2009 5:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/logitech-aims-for-a-chicken-in-every-pot-a-remote-in-every-hand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/logitech-aims-for-a-chicken-in-every-pot-a-remote-in-every-hand/
I guess you're technically correct though: my Harmony remots didn't work as I intended it to, it goes well above and beyond.]]>Sep 3rd 2009 9:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/logitech-aims-for-a-chicken-in-every-pot-a-remote-in-every-hand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/logitech-aims-for-a-chicken-in-every-pot-a-remote-in-every-hand/Sep 3rd 2009 11:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/logitech-aims-for-a-chicken-in-every-pot-a-remote-in-every-hand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/logitech-aims-for-a-chicken-in-every-pot-a-remote-in-every-hand/Sep 3rd 2009 5:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/logitech-aims-for-a-chicken-in-every-pot-a-remote-in-every-hand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/logitech-aims-for-a-chicken-in-every-pot-a-remote-in-every-hand/Sep 3rd 2009 7:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/logitech-aims-for-a-chicken-in-every-pot-a-remote-in-every-hand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/logitech-aims-for-a-chicken-in-every-pot-a-remote-in-every-hand/Sep 3rd 2009 7:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/logitech-aims-for-a-chicken-in-every-pot-a-remote-in-every-hand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/logitech-aims-for-a-chicken-in-every-pot-a-remote-in-every-hand/Sep 3rd 2009 10:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/logitech-aims-for-a-chicken-in-every-pot-a-remote-in-every-hand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/logitech-aims-for-a-chicken-in-every-pot-a-remote-in-every-hand/Sep 3rd 2009 8:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/logitech-aims-for-a-chicken-in-every-pot-a-remote-in-every-hand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/logitech-aims-for-a-chicken-in-every-pot-a-remote-in-every-hand/
Compare that to the multi-function remote that came with my 8300HD-DVR from Time Warner Cable. That remote is seven years old and batteries last at least eight months (2xAA). Sure, it doesn't have a display, but I really could get by without the display if Logitech for buttons where the display is.]]>Sep 3rd 2009 8:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/logitech-aims-for-a-chicken-in-every-pot-a-remote-in-every-hand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/logitech-aims-for-a-chicken-in-every-pot-a-remote-in-every-hand/Sep 3rd 2009 9:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/logitech-aims-for-a-chicken-in-every-pot-a-remote-in-every-hand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/logitech-aims-for-a-chicken-in-every-pot-a-remote-in-every-hand/Sep 3rd 2009 9:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/logitech-aims-for-a-chicken-in-every-pot-a-remote-in-every-hand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/logitech-aims-for-a-chicken-in-every-pot-a-remote-in-every-hand/Sep 3rd 2009 9:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/logitech-aims-for-a-chicken-in-every-pot-a-remote-in-every-hand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/logitech-aims-for-a-chicken-in-every-pot-a-remote-in-every-hand/
And again as ask the PS3 snobs, why add the cost of Bluetooth to the remote to support only one device? BT is not the new standard in controlling CE. It was just never put in the PS3 to save money. Simple as that.]]>Sep 3rd 2009 9:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/logitech-aims-for-a-chicken-in-every-pot-a-remote-in-every-hand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/logitech-aims-for-a-chicken-in-every-pot-a-remote-in-every-hand/
I really don't understand. Maker of game accessory making universal remote w/o Next generation HTPC like console. ]]>Sep 3rd 2009 10:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/logitech-aims-for-a-chicken-in-every-pot-a-remote-in-every-hand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/logitech-aims-for-a-chicken-in-every-pot-a-remote-in-every-hand/Sep 3rd 2009 12:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/logitech-aims-for-a-chicken-in-every-pot-a-remote-in-every-hand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/logitech-aims-for-a-chicken-in-every-pot-a-remote-in-every-hand/
on my harmony one, i click 'watch a movie' and my TV turns on and goes to input 5, my receiver turns on and goes to input 2, and my remote, and screen change to controls to operate the PS3, blu-ray playback, and XMB.

When I'm done with the movie, I shut down the PS3 on the XMB (still using the harmony), and hit 'watch TV' the receiver turns off, the DVR turns on, and the TV switches to input 6. And, all my remote functions now control the DVR, and tv...

my third harmony remote and I am an unashamed fanboy.]]>Sep 3rd 2009 6:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/logitech-aims-for-a-chicken-in-every-pot-a-remote-in-every-hand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/logitech-aims-for-a-chicken-in-every-pot-a-remote-in-every-hand/
Logitech's support is fantastic, but I've just needed it too much with my 880. Kind of makes me weary of other Harmony products.]]>Sep 3rd 2009 9:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/logitech-aims-for-a-chicken-in-every-pot-a-remote-in-every-hand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/logitech-aims-for-a-chicken-in-every-pot-a-remote-in-every-hand/
Don't you just love when people who don't know you say you can't/couldn't do something?

Yes I could. You should have asked how.

How? Easy. For ME (which is all I was talking about, not everyone else), they could replace the area used by the display and it's buttons with probably 15 buttons total. Heck, I really only use that display for List, A, B and C anyways. Can't speak for others.

If they really don't want to get rid of the display, go side lit eInk.]]>Sep 9th 2009 4:06PM
