We now have 5 remote controls to control the TiVo, TV, Squeezebox, AM/FM Tuner, and Sirius. That’s a lot of junk to deal with, so I decided to try out a universal remote. The Logitech Harmony 520 got decent reviews and seemed to be one of the least expensive programmable universal remotes. After a few tries, I finally found it at Wal-Mart. At first, setting it up seemed like an immense chore with the devices mode, activities, etc. It’s nice that it recognized all my devices, but it is extremely confusing to setup. After playing with it for awhile, I think I am finally getting the hang of it and setting it up the way I want. The fact that you can configure the buttons differently in “Device” mode” vs. “Activities” mode had me really confused. In most cases, I want them the same. In addition, the automatic activities it sets up aren’t exactly what I want and there doesn’t seem to be a way to really customize them, so I have to setup a generic activity and start there. However, doing this, I have to reset all the buttons I already configured. I think after some more configuring, I’ll start to like it. The real question will be if my wife accepts it.
