The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

The GBU of my new Logitech Harmony One universal remote. First let me start by saying I own the Harmony 880 model and have used it for two years. It works great but it is not the best looking remote around. Harmony One The Good - design, feel, hard button layout, charging cradle. The Bad - only 3 activities & six buttons per LCD screen (vs. eight on the 880) and battery life or lack thereof between charges. The Ugly - this model lacks a media list feature and for me this is awful. I have two 400 DVD changers and the ability to have my DVD library on the remote makes choosing a movie to watch as simple as pushing one button on my 880. This new remote was purchased for the bedroom gear. I have hardwired an IR control system & run HDMI over a Cat5e extender to bring the signal of the DVD changers back there as well. Now I'm going to have to print out a hard copy catalog to keep in the bedroom or figure out a way to list my catalog and display it on my AppleTV (which its not designed to do). Both options are not ideal and is a major strike against recommending this device to someone if they have a multi-disk dvd player. This is one of those rare times when I did not do a lot of research before making an electronics purchase; bad idea. I do not think I would of bought it had I known this ahead of time. Here's hoping that Logitech does a firmware update that will provide this feature in the future. Oh, BTW this is not the only model that does not support this. The Harmony 1000 does not as well. Pretty sad when your two top models lack an important feature that was previously offered on older models.
