Awesome deal, just bought one a month ago for 150.
This remote includes the color keys that seem to pop up on a lot of remotes these days.
Doh!

Haydss: I have a harmony "one" remote control and love it to bits :) I also have the harmony PS3 adapter as well, works like a treat!
My dad recently bought the harmony 785 when they had it on sale and he seems quite happy with it. When I saw his remote I was a bit dissapointed in the quality of the LCD on it though... makes me appreciate my remote even more now :D

How are you liking the One? I've had an 880 for a couple of years now and it's been very good, but the paint on the center keys started to peel off, and the charger base has a design fault that blocks the remote from charging. I have to improvise with aluminum paper to get it to reach the contacts on the base of the remote.
lyonrouge: Anyone using a reciever with swithched video output? I've got a Plasma / Projector arrangement with switched video output, the reciever is great, but the remote is awful, I'm considering replacing it (I also have a PS3 remote currently, replacing that at the same time would be nice).

robjg63: I have got a Harmony 525 remote - and its generally pretty good - awesomely powerful IR signal. I 'backup' my remotes onto this just in case the originals bite the dust. Its pretty hard to replace remote controls.
But I found recently that one of the device buttons (there are 4 buttons around the LCD display), decided not work. The unit is about 18 months old. A quick google indicated that perhaps the logitech remotes (certainly the 525) dont tend to have the most durable buttons. I was quite disappointed. I actually managed to pull the remote apart without busting it and 'tinkered' with the area that had the dodgy button. Its working again (for now).
I wouldnt say that my remote gets very heavy use - its more of a 'his' remote while the mrs has about 5 originals as 'hers'.
Maybe the 785 is a little more robust.....
lyonrouge: is it mode based?
magu:lyonrouge: is it mode based?
Yes. Got Watch Freeview, Watch Sky, Play XBOX/DVD, Watch AppleTV on mine.

so when you press "Watch Sky" for example, does it change the input to Sky and remote mode to sky buttons? do do you have to change to "Watch Sky" mode and then change the input (that is how the current remote works)?
