| Logitech Harmony Advice Needed Im moving in with a mate in about a months time, and between us we have about 10 remotes, and one of these babys seems like the way to go. I was wondering if it can be used to control a pc as well? Were gonna be having a HTPC in the lounge so it would be convenient to have one thing control the lot. If the harmony doesnt, can anyone recommend anything else? Thanks ECS RS482-M, A64 4400+ X2 @ 2.6Ghz, 2GB Gskill ZX, X1800XT PE 512mb Logitech G15/G5 Combo 4tw, NEC 20.1" WS RAID 0 - 36GB Raptors |

| Got the 885 and works with media center just fine  Takes an absolute age to configure correctly though.I'd recommend the 525 myself though - the lion battery and colour screen are all very well, but the docks a typical logitech (put it down, squidge it around for 5 minutes before it makes contact and charges) and the colour screen ain't worth that much extra. Rest of the functionality is identical. Now go away before I taunt you a second time. |

| Yeah i quite like the look of the 525 actually, and will probably be a hell of a lot cheaper  Does it come with everything out of the box to communicate with XP / Media Centre, or is there some other equipment needed?

| You'll need the MCE reciever of course (which means buying a remote that'll immediately get stuffed in a draw) but thats it Now go away before I taunt you a second time. |
