I have a Logitech Harmony One and a URC MX-950. I have had both for exactly the same amount of time, and both work great. The Logitech I use downstairs so my family can easily use the TV and XBOX.
Upstairs, in my home theatre, I have programmed the MX-950 to do exactly what I want with the more expensive components (the family doesn't even try to use this remote, so they don't go in there without me).
But now, I just built an HTPC for my home theatre, and wanted to add that component to my MX-950, so I can switch the AVR to that input with a button press (I have a bluetooth keyboard and mouse to control XBMC running on the HTPC).
Guess what? I can't do it. All I have on every computer I own is Windows 7, which no longer supports ActiveSync, so I cannot get my PC's to recognize the remote and so I can no longer program it (really?!?!?!). So, I either pay $350 to my installer to program it, something I could do it about 5 minutes, or I buy a crappy laptop for $300, and put an old copy of XP on it to program it. My components are in a beautiful rack inside a closet in the back of the room, and thus require RF. I have the MRF-250, which works perfectly. I have a 110" screen and project, so no, there is no cabinet I could put things on at the front of the room.
So, basically I am up the river without a paddle. Thanks URC! I think the Logitech 900 is a RF remote, but I am sure it won't be as nice a solution as I had with the MRF-250.
