Which Universal Remote? - Blu-ray Forum

Blu-Raider · 12-24-2007, 06:00 PM

Curious...

What's the popular choice for universal remote controls around here?

I have a Harmony 880 which replaced my Philips Pronto 2000.

I have a Harmony 550 - mainly because I preferred the looks over the curved more expensive ones.

I got a Harmony 880 and the reason i bought it was because everyone told me that they love it i would add that it is a good remote

flipsyde2000 · 12-24-2007, 06:23 PM

Love my harmony 880

kpkelley · 12-24-2007, 06:24 PM

Another vote for the Harmony 880. Even my mother can use hers and she had trouble with the original remotes.

Wheelman1970 · 12-24-2007, 06:53 PM

Harmony 890.

I have a Harmony 880.

I have also had pronto remotes before, but pronto remotes are a double edged sword. I like how customizeable they are: you can do just about anything. Programming it can also be tedious and tiresome though.

I hated the size of the Pronto. Unless you're a proctologist with 10" fingers...

880 in da house!

I got a Harmony 890 which replaced my Pronto that I got when it first came out many many summers ago.

The RF feature is fantastic and the price is right.

I have the Harmony 550. It does everything I could possibly need, and I think it looks better than the newer models. Although there is one problem, the number keys are too small and too close together.

harman kardon TC-30 (harmony)

very sexy remote (not peanut shaped)

has all the features of the 880 plus more buttons than the 720

missing the RF feature of the 890 though, which is awesome to have.

I have a Harmony 1000 and a Harmony 890 Pro. I like the Harmony 890 pro better then the 1000.

I like the 1000 better, but the 890 is cool
