Received my remote yesterday and got it set up to a point. First thoughts: very cool. I was slightly intimidated at first but found a few tricks and was able to customize it to my likings. And let me say, the remote is fully customizeable.
Once I realized you can "learn" any command from your old remote by making a new command, pressing the buttom on the old remote, and storing it in the Harmony. Then, you can select that command to be placed anywhere on any of the screens for the activity of your choice and even name is whatever you want. This came in handy when I needed to make a "My DVR" button.
Also, it was neat to see the remote troubleshooting sequencing on the fly. I set it up so that it would leave the cable box on all the time. However, "watch tv" would turn on flawlessly, but turning it off would leave the receiver on. Well, it asks if everything's ok and you just go through the motions to allow it to see what's turned on and it adjusts timing in order to have everything turn off properly. This happened a 2nd time and after that, all of my sources turned on and off as expected. Very cool.
This remote is definitely not for the faint of heart, as it takes a bit of learning of not only the software for customizing it, but even using it. But once you understand what's going on, you'll love it.
One question though, is there a different way you add a device depending on whether you have a ps3 alone or with the harmony adapter? Because it I got the adapter but it looked like there's only one ps3 device option. I wasn't sure then how you can automatically start a blu ray if you make an activity like that. As it stands now, if I "watch a blu ray" it will start up the ps3, but then I have to manually scroll over and start the disc. Does this have to do with setting up macros at all? Thanks!
