Pros: Looks nice, bright back-light, nice weight and feel.
Cons: Have to use Activities to turn devices on, unnecessarily complicated and simplistic at the same time.
Other Thoughts: Apparently I was under the wrong impression when purchasing this remote. I simply wanted to replace an old TV remote and thought this would be more than sufficient, and have the benefit of being able to download commands from the internet instead of using an old remote (since the old one was broken). I had no need for controlling multiple devices or programming activities. I simply wanted it to work like the old remote: Power toggles the power on and off, volume up and down, channel up and down, etc. Unfortunately this is not how the remote works. The power button on the remote ONLY turns things off, it does not toggle the power on, so you HAVE to program an Activity just to turn your TV on. Very frustrating and not very useful for my needs. I'm amazed that this doesn't have an option to work like any old remote. With all this thing can do, what seems like such basic functionality is completely lacking, therefore 1 star for the lack of oversight.

Great Remote
Reviewed By: Raggedy on 11/20/2009
Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: more than 1 year
Pros: Price, options, dependability.
Cons: NONE
Other Thoughts: Glad I didn't read some of these reviews before I purchased mine. I got mine well over 2 years ago at walmart. Simply the best remote I have ever owned. Recently installed windows 7 and had to get latest software. No problem, it installed fine. I control my panasonic plasma tv, oppo dvd player, scientific atlanta cable box, and pioneer receiver. I even control my Fedders a/c unit with this thing. It is sturdy and the letters are like new, no wear after 2 plus years of everyday use.

Logitech Harmony 520 Universal Infrared Remote Control
Reviewed By: Nylox on 11/19/2009
Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
Pros: Super easy setup, super bright (non visible) IR doesn't have to be pointed directly at devices. It just simply works like a universal remote should! Online database is amazing and makes setting this thing up a breeze, can customize buttons, menus, and name them to anything you want on the display screen!
Cons: Small buttons but even that isn't much of an issue.
Other Thoughts: I have had a lot of universal remote controls in my time and this is by far the best remote! I had this up and running exactly the way I wanted in under 30 minutes. Normally I would have had to spend hours customizing a typical universal remote to work the way I want it to. I can't imagine making programming this any easier. The software is very intuitive and walks you through what you want to do. It automatically updates for new devices and the online database is full of stuff that other devices would require "learning" buttons to function. I was initially concerned about possible battery issues due to the bright back lighting but so far this hasn't been an issue after 2 month of use so far on the first set of batteries.
It boils down to this: GET IT AND YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!
