- Good hardware, crap software
Its a very nice remote, esp for $50 shipped. Like other have said about harmony remote software which is one unifided program; it sucks. Have to have an internet connection to program your remote? Crappy web interface, slow, clunky, no real customization. In my case an older tv which is in the database doesnt work that well. Power button on remote doesnt work, there is a power toggle in the lcd scroll area, not very convienent. I also read somewhere else the remote is haunted, the backlight will come on sometimes when I walk in kinda cool. All in all I like it, but the software for programming and lack of fully being able to program it sucks.

- It really does what it says.
I have never owned a universal remote before (other than the ones from the cable company), and let me tell this is an amazing little thing. The "activities"-based control is a great example of good design--instead of telling it which device you want to control, you just tell it what you want to do and it figures out how. Want to watch TV? It turns on the TV and the cable box, picks the correct input on the TV, and allows you to adjust the TV volume and the cable box's channel. Want to watch a DVD? It turns on the TV and the DVD player, and the controls work similarly with them. Instead of pushing 20 buttons on three remotes, you push about 4 on one. The only trick is the setup, but even that is pretty easy through the computer interface. You tell it what model equipment you have, download it into the remote (using a standard mini-USB cable that comes included) and the controls all work for that equipment. Maybe I will sour on this thing eventually, maybe it will break after a week, or maybe a comet will hit my house. But for now, I really like this thing.

- logitech harmony 550 review
had the product for a few months. quite happy with it.
successfully replaced the remotes for the following:
* jvc dvd player
* samsung tv
* onkyo receiver
* sharp vcr
* motorola cable box

also use it to set tv/receiver/power on-off modes for:
* apple tv
* sony ps2

product exceeded my expectations. has very fine tuning capability.
my samsung tv has a crappy reaction time to its own remote so once
in a while the modes do not change directly, and i have to use a
few additional steps on the remote. but it passed the wife and
guest tests :) so that's saying a lot for ease of use.

the text is a little hard to read in the blue backlighting. also i didn't think too much about it, but having the buttons lit is an useful feature that it lacks. other than that it's great!

- Easy to set up and use
The logitech harmony remote makes controlling multiple components very easy. Once the remote has been set up, anyone ca use a complex home heater system.

- does what it's supposed to but it doesn't hold up.
yes, programming this remote is very simple and very easy to use. It only took me about half an hour to set up maybe less. I was very impressed with how the unit interfaced with everything. That said, within two weeks the bottom of the LCD display started to not display properly and I've only had this product for a little over a month and I've already had to replace the batteries. I would recommend going one step higher! I think I'm going to try
