      Sad to hear Harmony remotes aren’t doing well for Logitech; http://www.theverge.com/2013/1/23/3909934/logitech-q3-results-harmony … They are hard things to sell, but once you’ve bought one…

      @chrisphin 100% disagree. They are over-engineered, expensive toys that don't do the job.

      @bazzacollins They are, by definition, doing a Heath Robinson job, but they do it well, and removes huge gouts of background stress.

      @chrisphin I've never understood why touchscreen universal remotes don't just have an image of the actual remote that you can prod.

      @bazzacollins @chrisphin I tried the logitech remote about 18 months ago. Way too complicated, awkward to use Wrong answer to wrong question

      @chrisphin @bazzacollins well its not IR. Range limited, too simplistic, way too many conflicts even on RC-5 which is horrible

      @jonhoneyball @bazzacollins It works flawlessly for me. Don’t need more range, don’t understand ‘simplistic’. All my kit is IR. Alternative?

      @chrisphin @bazzacollins I’m happy it works flawlessly for you. It doesn’t for others. And it the complexity problem gets worse over time

      @jonhoneyball @chrisphin Agree with Jon. Setup needs to be flawless. Those devices are hideous and have repeatedly failed.

          @bazzacollins @jonhoneyball @chrisphin I bought a top end one. Read the instructions. It's still in the box a year later.

          @PaulOckenden @bazzacollins @chrisphin I’ll say it again: IR and RC5-clones are not the answer to the 2013 to 2020 problem. Fine in 1990.

          @bazzacollins @jonhoneyball @chrisphin Not just setup - Mrs O (extreme technophobe) would never cope. The UI is very clunky.
