For crying out loud, guys. Hasn't this gone on long enough? Okay...there are people who come here to "educate" those of us that may be misled by those of us that are trying to "educate" those that are doing the misleading. Sounds like the lunatics are finally running the asylum.
People need to get it through their thick skulls that: A. Harmony's have a rightful place in the world of universal remotes...and, B. Harmony's are not for everyone. Why? Because some people want/need/require more than a Harmony can offer.
Making comparisons between Harmony's and "Hi-End automation solutions" is pointless. A Harmony remote can never compare because it wasn't designed to compete in that class. If all you want/need/require is the ability to control your A/V components in a simple "no-brainer" manner, then the Harmony is probably one of the best choices in it's class. Can anyone argue with this? If, however, you want the ability to control your "Living Environment" then you shouldn't be considering a Harmony. Again, can anyone argue this point?
This thread has been enjoyable, but now has gotten to the point of irritation. Neither side seems to want to admit that no one is truly "wrong".
Why are Harmony remotes dissed by "pro's"? Because (in most cases) Harmony remotes can't do what the "pro's" customer needs/wants/requires.
