The solutions you guys offer to your customers are great
especially when it comes to the examples you guys are
finally giving. When examples like "the guy wasn't able
to turn on the devices he wanted" are given it a shows
a lack of understanding the program or setting it up properly.
That was me...sorry I was so vague with that. I was running off memory of his situation, and didn't want end up making things up to develop a point.
Harmony's certainly have their place as some of you have
acknowledged, they certainly cant do everything the high
end stuff can do but they can centainly do everything
that an IR/RF based system needs at a reasonable cost.
I agree, until you said "needs". That I believe that is the great divider in this. Some of the Harmony guys use this word a great deal to justify Harmonys. What someone needs varies according to the person to which you're discussing. If that need is to be able to program the remote themselves, then a Harmony would be a better choice then a RTi. Of course you'd still have URC, and Philips as two other options as well. Which can do everything a Harmony can do and more.
The Harmonys OS is what makes them great for a lot consumers. It's also the same thing that makes them fall short of the other options out there. Why some in here can't admit that is beyond me.
