Personally, as a programmer, I have found that the people who want to do these remotes themselves end up calling me and wanting me to tell them how to program it and not pay the programming fee. I am willing to answer a question or two, but if you want it done right and to continue to get service on your equipment you should, as it has been stated on here a thousand times, hire a pro. For the time it takes the average DIY person to program the remote, it probably would have paid for itself to have a programmer there. Hence we typically make a large effort tomove them to a different brand or type of remote at this point. And as a consumer, do your research before you buy. I too have a Logitech. But it's my dog's chew toy. This is only my opinion and not the views of anyone else.
