Daniel, I think your review of the Easy Zapper Harmony remote said that it didn't come with a CD. Now it does:

http://www.harmonyremote.com/ says that a "Harmony Application Software Installation CD" is bundled with the original Harmony remote (Easy Zapper, SST-745).

[Link: harmonyremote.com] says that a "Harmony Software Installation CD" comes in the box with the SST-768.

* * *

How about a review of the new 31-button SST-768? And maybe a User Review thread and a Chat Forum thread that are separate from the ones for the 745? (The 745's page points to its own review.)

It looks like Harmony have covered the IR emitter(s), moved the USB port, and changed the triangle buttons to a more friendly shape. At 2 megabytes, there's also twice as much memory as you reported for the 745. I wonder if the IR emitter (MF Blanket Test) and the IR receptor are more powerful than before? Can you now work on the remote configuration offline, or can you at least save the XML code on your own computer? Are the DLLs or other applets still being downloaded on demand, or can they stay on the local computer for quicker programming? Is the customer support still exemplary? How's the warranty?

I agree that a review is needed (but let's give him some time to write it). But I don't think it needs it's own forum. I have used both, and I am sure that most of what is said for one is also true for the other (in the setup)

Oops, I read Daniel's update ([Link: remotecentral.com]) after I posted.

Anthony, maybe there's no need for a 768 Chat Forum -- but I hope you (and, of course, Daniel) agree that there should be a separate User Review thread (since, as I noted, the 745's User Review page points to Daniel's 745 review.)

I am assuming Daniel will add a user review section. Just remember that everything here is hand coded by Daniel, plus he has to play with the remotes and write the reviews of the remotes, so he has a lot to do.
