Product Description
The Logitech Harmony 1000 features a brilliant 3.5" color touch screen that allows for one-touch activity-based control of even the most sophisticated A/V components. Say goodbye to the wasted time and unnecessary complexity of multiple remotes controlling multiple devices; Logitech's patented Smart State Technology makes it easy! Control your HDTV, adjust aspect ratios, or change sound modes - there are no complicated macros to program. Just press an on-screen activity icon and Harmony does the rest.The Harmony 1000's sleek shape and brushed aluminum surfaces will look right at home as the centerpiece of your digital living room. One remote is all you'll need to control even the most complex home entertainment systems. And when used together with a Harmony RF Wireless Extender (sold separately), you can further reduce clutter by placing your components out of sight. Since the remote can transmit both infrared and radio frequency commands, you can control equipment inside a cabinet or even in the next room.

 Finally got rid of my 1/2 dozen remotes July 23, 2008
I thought the 1000's shape would be the biggest negative to get over. Instead it's really comfortable and slick looking to boot. The programming went easily (once I figured out not to have the remote and the IR extender plugged into the computer at the same time during updates). Cons: Not having the program residing on the PC and having to update the IR extender every time you update the remote. Two problems that I can overlook when weighing the ease of use. The wife and kids are no longer dependents to the keeper of the six remotes.
 Less than 1 star July 21, 2008
I also used to be a Logitech dealer until our customers experienced these same type of firmware problems. Remotes freaks out and locks up, volume go's up in middle of night without touching the remote, RF extender looses connectivity with remote, etc. We have sold over 35 harmony 890 and 1000's half of which have been replaced with a Universal Remote 850 or 900. One customer returned a 890 remote in a zip lock bag after smashing it with a hammer - needless to say he was upset. Harmony remotes are made for consumers who want to program the remote themselves (if the customer can wire and setup a/v equipment then they should have no problem programming) they only offer basic functionality due to the closed software architecture. Our company refuses to program Logitech Universal remotes for our customers, because we can not guarantee results.
 Great Universal Remote July 20, 2008
Logitech Harmony 1000 Advanced Universal Remote Control I just purchased this universal remote and am VERY pleased with it. Set up was extremely easy and required no special technical skills. The online user guide made setting up the remote an easy task just as advertised on the box. The touch screen display is a nice feature especially when you compare this remote with other higher priced units that really accomplish the same task. Most of all, my family really loves the Harmony 1000 and everyone is now able to enjoy our media room without having to scramble for four different remotes just to turn on the TV and get surronud sound. I just can't see anyone not being pleased with this unit. I would highly recommend purchasing the RF extender as I believe that this is essential to ensure strong signal transmission and eliminating the need for direct line of sight ( I know, this adds another $100 to the overall price, but I still love the Harmony 1000). I would heartly recommend the Harmony 1000 without reservation to anyone. I was even able to programe in my remote controlled dimmer switch so that now we can even control lighting in our media room with the 1000. Great work to Logitech !!!
Great remote with minor flaws!!! July 17, 2008
I really do like this remote, but a few things stopped me from giving it a full 5 stars.
1. Some of the buttons are too small, somewhat often I'll press the wrong button on accident because the buttons are too small and close together. In fact, I'll often hit the help button on accident and have to close out of that menu to get back to the current activity.
2. While this remote does a better job with my Tivo than the newer Harmony One, there is still just a bit of lag time vs. the original Tivo remote.
3. This is stupid, but I would prefer it had a clock on screen at all times. The Harmony One does.
Other than those minor things, this remote rocks. The color touch screen is well organized. I like the additional buttons in each corner to be able to give you more setting to press, (star= extra buttons that you don't have room for on the main screen; 123= keypad; play/pause= main/home screen). Being able to program special hotkeys to you're liking is excellent. The size of this remote is perfect, I was pleasantly surprised at how slim yet comfortable it fit in my hands and how light it was.
 nice looking [...] July 16, 2008
I have had this remote for about a year and a half and have used it only sparingly. It's big bright and
beautiful. It however is way over priced and difficult to navigate. Because it is primarily touch screen driven one will often touch the wrong area and launch an activity or function that you didn't want to occur. My screen has gone dead. The battery contact is broken and the 499 dolloar remote is kaput.
I do have two other remotes from logitech that I love. The harmony One is the best hands down. The 880 is a good workhorse. I know the price on the 1000 model has dropped significantly but there is a reason for this. Save yourself a big headache and get the Model One instead. It got a five star rating in Macworld Magazine. The Giz Wiz also loved it.
