I love the Harmony remotes. But I must say, the 550 is the most problem-plagued piece of AV equipment I've ever owned. I am now on my third one in the past 18 months. Each one has been replaced under warranty, but that doesn't take away the fact that they are a piece of junk. Each of the first two had button failures within 9 months of receiving them. I'm just saying....AVOID THIS REMOTE LIKE THE PLAGUE.

Too late for me. I have already replaced one with a button failure.
Bierboy I would have to agree; for anything other than light and occasional usage this would not be a choice of mine again.

Oh, and the glow light on the 550 (all three that I've had) occasionally stays on until I hit another button. If I don't notice it, the battery can be drained.
