View Full Version : Just got the Universal MX 350..... returning it for the Harmony One. paulroad 05-10-2008, 10:17 PM any thoughts? pierreb 05-11-2008, 05:08 AM paulroad 05-11-2008, 06:12 AM Rubberduckie 05-11-2008, 01:11 PM I'd say the One is better value being about half the price, although MX-810 can be bought for quite a bit less than the retail price. Programming the MX-810 can be a bitch if you've not done one before. It's very easy to get the Harmony remotes to do all the basics + in your system, and Harmony has a lot more codes already in it's software to make things quicker for you. To get the Harmony to do more than the basics is still not a big deal, provided you have the time. I recently got my Harmony (880) to do a macro (one touch operation) for turning my TV speakers on/off for when I just want to watch the news without turning the audio rig on, which pleased me no end. It's amazing how nice it is to be extremely lazy in front of the TV. paulroad 05-11-2008, 01:32 PM pierreb 05-11-2008, 04:02 PM Imola Ghost 05-11-2008, 09:56 PM paulroad 05-12-2008, 04:27 AM I picked the H-1 up last night. Programing will start this evening. Pioneer HD Panel Pioneer A/V Receiver - HDMI and Composite for Cable, DHMI for DVD.

With the ease of programming that the Harmony offers plus the color LCD for all of 249.00, it was a no brainer. Hey I if I don't like it I do have 30 days to bring it back. BeeRock::Riding Red 05-12-2008, 02:37 PM you program it. ill make it setup as a one touch on, one touch off. up to u just email me! |
