I need some insite here i love my rc5000 but for myself i have a hell of a time programming it (can't do it without calling my brother a million times?!asking for help).I love the looks of the rc 5000 but love the ease of the zapper! just want some opinions of people should i keep the 5000 or get rid of it in return less headake?? anyone here have the same experiance as me?with these remotes let me know am i nuts for wanting to trade remotes?!

Cujo,

I have had the Harmony for several months now (I was a beta tester). Overall, it is an excellent remote and particularly convenient when using TOADs due to the smartstate technology. For most activities, it suits my purposes perfectly and has a great WAF!

However, I have a satellite receiver that has PVR functions, and for this device, I just haven't been happy with the lack of hard buttons on the Harmony. As many people in this forum have mentioned, a joystick-type rocker button would be a nice addition to the harmony. I have been using an MX-500 (instead of the Harmony) to control my main system because of the sat. rec.

The folks Harmony are continuously upgrading the functionality of their remote which makes me hesitant to trade it away. After all, who knows what they'll come up with next. However, for the sole purpose of controlling my sat. rec., I would be interested in trading for your rc-5000. Send me an e-mail (see my profile for address) if you want to discuss it further.
