Advantages: Great ergonomics, flexible functions, anti-obsolescence Disadvantages: Slow software, need broadband to set up, some glaring omissions
...remainder of the weekend as Logitech didn't reply until the following Monday afternoon. When the reply came it was impressive. I had a polite note from a technical support person (Gerald, if I remember correctly), who was sorry for my troubles and told me that he had added a new parameter to my TV power controls, which allowed the signal to be transmitted for longer. This was already uploaded to my home page (almost spookily), and I duly downloaded ... ...me, and only hope that Logitech have learnt the pitfalls of Panasonic's power protocols through my sore experience. Now, a few months down the line, I am extremely glad I persevered. Those eight hours over four days it took to set up seem like a drop in the ocean, especially considering three other learning remotes had failed for me over the last several years (including a Cambridge Audio and Marantz). These had all been at least as pricey as this ...

...missing somewhere.
We bought Logitech Harmony 525 2 years ago. I knew it would work for me as I am a gadget man. I was slightly apprehensive about my wife and worried about my in-laws (when they come to visit us). I thought it might be too techie thing for them.
It turned out as a very simple to use. I have setup 4 activities - Sat1, Sat2, DVD and CD. You program it on Logitech site using web interface and then sync your remote via USB cable. When ... ...average household with 4-5 boxes under the TV. Logitech database is great and it is more than likely that your devices are already there and universal remote will pick up settings from their web site.
Wholeheartedly recommended product.
The cheapest I have found it (10/10/2008) is £38.5 at

Advantages: Control many devices using Infrared - easy to setup Disadvantages: Can't control bluetooth or FM devices
The Logitech Harmony 525 Advanced Universal Remote is used to control multiple devices in audio and visual systems (ie your tv, video, digital box, music players etc) Currently we use one to control an AV receiver, digital box and projector. Personally i think this is the best one i've used. Although initially to set up takes a bit of time (you have to load a program onto a computer and then add devices to the remote using the provided usb cable), ... ...'unknown' systems remote at the logitech remote and it asks you to press the buttons. Thats it. We had to do that with one of ours and it works brilliantly and wasn't hard to do. The Only Flaw to this remote is it can't control FM signalled devices such as motorised projector screens or bluetooth controlled devices such as Playstations - HOWEVER these devices can come with infra-red or infra-red can be bought as an accessory ...

Advantages: Does everything you could want Disadvantages: Small screen makes finding options difficult
This is an absolutely great remote given it's cost. I used to have an One for All Kameleon which cost a lot more money than this.
Setup was very very easy using the Software given and within 30 minutes I had a remote control which did exactly what I wanted.
I use this to control my TV, Amplifier, BluRay DVD, Xbox 360 and Virgin Media Box. Every function of each device is catered for on the remote and the ability for the remote to transmit to more ... ...any settings on it is fantastic.
There are a couple of downsides to this remote. The first is the screen is very small in comparison to some others and scrolling through the pages to get to some of the more unique features of a device can be a pain, but overall this is great and well worth the investment ...
