Nice find. I have had one for a while; I just don't use it much however.

 

[Kaido]

Just what I needed, thanks! :thumbsup:

I have one, it owns. The charging unit it comes with sucks though.

Got one. Man, I spend myself into the poor house this holiday season.

Picked up one of these from Amazon for 125 w/free shipping in September. Amazon has it listed for 156 now though, so this looks like a pretty good deal. I love the remote. Very easy to program.

In for one. Thanks, OP!

Will this work with an XBox 360 and PS3? I know that Logitech has a XBox model (I have one), but wondering if this will work as well.

It works for the 360, not the PS3... there's no IR on the PS3, only bluetooth.

Took them 1+ year to run this sale again, but good deal. I think this is the lowest Dell has had it since I bought in August 2006 for $119.

I was able to use it on a much lesser know brand. I would have to guess it would be able to control a Vizio.

they work on everything. all harmony's have a wiki-pedia type database online that users can upload to. this is why the remotes work on basically everything without any manual programming. even if its not listed, you can learn the remote to whatever you want as long as you have the original remote- but youll find the online database is unbelievable. it has everything.

When mine started really acting up I took a pencil and used the eraser end to clean the copper contacts on the back of the remote and the base and the problem was solved. My main complaint with it is the smooth plastic case and tiny buttons make it impossible to use one handed.

Doesn't work on the Wii either as there's no RF. It will control absolutely anything that uses RF, the online database for pulling in the configs is fantastic.

Will this be able to control Bose Lifestyle Home Theater Systems? What about Windows MCE (I already have the IR base for my pc)?

Thanks.

Thanks.

It will work for ANY IR device. If it doesn't already have the codes in the huge database that they have, then you can use the original remote to teach your harmony to do whatever it can do.

Mine was delivered today. DHL just left it sitting by my door it looks like =/

 

[Kaido]

Mine showed up today as well.

 

[Midnight]

any one use with MCE? i think i have to get an IR USB device or something to make them fully compatible. any suggestions for IR devices?

It's working great for me

Have to place it just right on the charger, but it works fine when on there right.

I found the new software has better delay timings by default, and you can change them too. My cable box is now much more responsive because of that.
