Read more.A Harmony remote control for under £30? What's not to like?
got a sneaky look at one of these a month ago when logitech rep came into work, was pretty impressed that they took £10 off the price with only removing the pretty useless screen.
the only reason this doesnt sell well is that people compare these to some £5 universal remotes, and even though this is 101% better they still dont even consider it.

I think this new £30 model will be over looked compared to cheaper universal remotes as it doesn't really offer much more. But for someone who has a small home cinema kit with DVD player etc , this £30 remotes doesn't offer enough control compared to the cheapest model with a screen that can be had for £45.
i have a harmony remote (one with the screen) and its awesome ... i do agree with Cozwin though, to many people compare these to your standard Universal remotes which is a shame, i would have no problems recommend harmony to anyone, wicked bit of kit, especially with todays technology when pretty much everything needs a remote ....
When will they make one of these with Media Centre controls!? Just add bluetooth capability to the remote with a dongle and they would sell like hot cakes.
You can add media control commands to the higher models I believe.
Also why would you want bluetooth in a remote control ?
It doesnt have to have bluetooth it was just an idea, as I have an old logitech remote which uses bluetooth to connect to my PC...
Anyway, I think I have found what I am looking for...

To let it control a PS3 without needing an IR-BT box.
Err, I have one of those sattelite boxes - think the brand is "technomatte" or something (think chinese :/) - would these work with it?
Nelsaidi, it looks as though Technomatte products are supported. To see if it'll work with your particular box, punch your model number in at Logitech.com.
Do you *have* to give them your email address for the configuration software?
You have to give them an email address, it could be a disposible one.
