While it lacks real multiroom capabilities and may not offer quite the flexibility of competing high-end tablet-style remotes, the swanky Logitech Harmony 1000 can be programmed by the average consumer, which saves the cost of hiring a home installer...
Logitech's first tablet-style universal learning remote incorporates both IR (infrared) and RF (radio frequency) wireless operation and includes a rechargeable battery and a docking station. Compared with other high-end tablet-style remotes, it's less...
For those on tighter budgets, the Harmony 1000 is going to appear pricey, especially when you consider that no RF module is included. In addition, this model lacks some of the design flexibility (you can't design your own buttons or customize screen...

Bridging the gap between home automation and universal remote is the Harmony 1000. Its 3.5-inch touchscreen is just the start of its user friendliness. It's not quite as customizable as some others like Crestron, Control4 and AMX, but it sure does a...
Crestron-like looks to awe all your friends with simple set-up and control of even complicated theaters ; Access to the largest database of IR codes in the industry and exceptional customer service ; Rechargeable lithium ion battery keeps the remote...
The Harmony RF extender should be included with the remote for the $499 price
While the Harmony 1000 is a great remote that can easily be the focal point of any consumer-level home theaters, it would benefit from a customizable touch screen and a few more hard buttons. The RF relay should come with the remote, as its own IR...

When Logitech released the Harmony 1000 in early 2007, they were targeting those people looking for an easy to use tablet-style remote control. Read on to see how programming the device matches up to its actual operation.
The Harmony 1000 also has some advantages over other tablet-style remotes on the market. This remote, in most cases, is much less expensive than the competition. The MSRP of the Harmony 1000 is $499, but I have seen it around the Internet for right...

Ok, I know everyone has done this, as I know I did all the time until now. You sit down and turn on the TV, then you have to grab the cable box remote to change it to the channel that you want to watch. Wait! The volume is too low so you have to get...
Worked flawlessly ; Will replace up to 15 of you remote controls ; Works up to 100 feet thru walls with the Wireless Extender ; Can control you home furnishings like lights, blinds and fireplaces equipped with RF technology ; Comfortable and easy to...
Pricey but worth if for the benefits
I must admit, it takes some time to get used to the power that the Harmony 1000 offers, but once you do, watch out. This thing will simplify your couch commando experience so much that the only thing I could not get it to do was bring me a beer. Setup...

I remember the days when a universal remote meant sitting down with a book of codes and entering them all until you found one (hopefully) that worked with your TV or other components. I am glad to say that one of the great things with modern remotes...

Introduction The first TV remote was made by Zenith in 1950. Called "Lazy Bones," it allowed you to change the channels and to turn the TV on and off. It came with a 20-foot wire connecting it to the set. The first wireless remote also came from Zenith...

As much as you may love your new flat screen TV and DVR, it's the controller that really brings it all together, and it's the controller that you actually spend the most time with. While the universal remote that came with your surround sound receiver...
Aside from those issues, using the 1000 was a pleasure. I never worried about miss-hitting a small button (a problem for me with the model 890), because the LCD screen allows for large, easy to reach buttons. All the most-commonly used buttons would...

If you're drowning in a sea of remote controls, Logitech has the answer.
It certainly looks and feels the part. It's slim, clad in brushed silver aluminium on the front with blue-backlit buttons, while the rear is rubberised to help you grip it. The remote doesn't just have hardware controls - for common stuff like...

A good product that works well, though costs way too much.
