I just got my TC30 yestarday and got it programed in about an hour, the hardest part was having to manually setup my DirectV receivers since I was using a none standard code to control it (two receivers in same room AV1/Av2). I did discover what everyone is talking about that there is no option to do the favorites in the TC30. I will try and on the Harmony website tonight.

I was wondering though, if I were to go to my other computer, the one I installed the Logitech software on and set-up my friends Harmony last week and log in with the Harman will it work, or is that whatever one is referring to being redirectred? Are you getting redirected on machines with the Harman software, or Logitec? It maynot make a hill of beans difference, but I was just curious. Since I have two computers in the house and one has the harmony software the other the Harmon, I guess it couldn't hurt to try? The internals of the 880 and TC30 seem the same to me... I really wish Harman would get with the program and update their software, or sight to give us the favorite channel feature on our remotes!!! Its great to have a work around but come on....

Ok, this is B.S. I left work early today and have spend almost 4 hours going over your directions again and again and trying anything else I can think of. It doesn't work.

Even when I clear out my cookies I go straright to the unsupported broswer page in FireFox. When I start from the beginning, after deleting cookies I get the same message, if I go to the Harmony/ Logitec website and log in from there (that is the only way I can even see a log in on the Harmony webpage) it does one of two things... either goes straight to the Harman page and asks for my log-in again, or I get the unsupported browser message. When I get the later, I do the second tab thinng and I get a message that the url you provided is bad. I have even tried to go back to the harmony weboage and lined directly from the test drive link there and get the sae thing. It's almost like they have disabled that link since you post.
This is killing me, and so is my wife... I let go a nice Maratz touch scren to go with this because I was tired of programing the dang thing, I made the mistake of telling my wife that we couod have favorites on the remote and she an't happy. makes me want to sell this thing and just move on out into the yard with the dog!!!

Ok, I'm exaggerating a bit, but has and one else had the same probelms?

Sorry about my last post, or two... I'm am still lost here. To sum things up... when I try all variations of the above methods. The best I can do is get the "new login" page on the Harmony website. I have even tried creating a new account but each time I log-in I either get sent to the Harman site or an error. I am starting to suspect this was a purposeful oversight on the part of the licensee... Harmony so as to be able to sell there 880, over the TC30. I haveeven tried connecting my TC30 to machines with the Harmony software and the Harman software but the results are the same. Oh well, I guess if we wait long enough someone will wirte an app to help. Wish I was able to read code, I'd put my brain were my mouth obviously is and do my share but I'd probably end up coding the thing to burst a water pipe or something.

If you cant get it to work with firefox 8 neither can I)
tro to use Internet Exploder.
it works great for me.
the only diffrencies is that I cannot use the firefox extension to move softbuttons up and down in the list.
But a combination of the two browsers/web interfaces. is a good solution for me.
It takes more clicks and time, but ,hey, I dont reprogram my remote 11times a day!.

I have read a lot about this "favourite" thingie.
WHAT is it? is it a button on the harmony models that TC30 dont have? what does it do? is it like a shortcut to a list over favovirte channels? Is it pssible to use it for someting else?, or is it dedicaed to be used with a "watch TV"-activity?

I've tried the above steps with both IE and Firefox and can't get it to work. With IE, I can get it to open the TestDrive site, but it opens as a new user and not into my account. Will keep trying, but at somepoint you have to put a price on your time and 4 hours one day, 3 another at the rates I charge myself, would have bought me an installer to setup my Pronto... lol

I finally have been able to log in via the Harmony webpage, but unfortunately with the TC30 connected, the customize channels isn't an option as it is on the 880. Interestingly enough I didi find an option under my Samdung DVD player labeld Setup Media which allows one to add specific DVD title in a multi-disc DVD changer, which my Samsung is not. But it seems that it this option is unlockd, the others should be. Anyway... I'm keeping my Harman for now.

I'm considering this remote and the Logitech 720.

I'm interested in the 'TV station logos for favorites that can be modified' feature the 720 offers and want to confirm it's possible to get the same on the Tc30, understanding it may take a little hacking around.

Based on the discussion in this thread do I understand correctly that assuming one can get to the Logitech web site interface to program the Tc30 one can have this same feature?

Well, I'm not sure if I am representative of the other users here, nor have I been able to confirm getting to the Logitech webpage gives you the same menus on the TC30 as the 880, as others have claimed, I can however speak from my experience.
After a lot of trail and error I was able to log into the Harmony webpage with my TC30, but the menu items that so easily allow you to program favorite channels on the 880, are gone. Having just steup a harmony 880 for a friend, I know this menu is easily found, however when connecting my TC30 I couldn't find the same options. Ironically enough I did find a favorte DVD/CD menu for the TC, which I may have overlooked on the 880. I can't speak for the 720, but know the 880 offers the channel favorite and if it wasn't for the button lay-oput, would have turned my TC30 back in for an 880, but I dilike the buttons as they are to close together on the Harmony branded remotes.

I've been looking for a good remote with LCD under $200 and I really though I was going to end up with the Harmony 880, but then I noticed the negative revues regarding the buttons and the charger. THEN I found the TC30, man I really like it!

1) All the pics. I've seen of the Harmony 880 show it has the time and battery level on the screen at all times, of all the pictures I've seen of the TC30 I've never seen one showing the battery level? That’s some thing I'd like, is it there on the TC30?

2) I'm a little intimidated from all the complex post I've read of you guys having to use the Harmon site and the Logitech site, and Fox something.... I'd like to some how use an activity as "Favorites", should I be at least a little intimidated on programming the TC30??

Have any of you seen the Harmony 785?!

Ok Ok !! I may have changed my mind..... I just found the Harmony 720. I like how it looks, it has very good reviews and it has the best of many models from Harmony and HK. I had a big issue with not being able to program favority channels on a TC30 because of limitations from HK. Plus with the 720 I can take advantage of all the cool customizing people have come up with for the 880's and 890's.

Any thoughts?

I just got my TC 30 today (I have an 880 as well).

I really am upset by HK's lack of support - no download section for the latest software on their web page. Their FAQs is blank - I'm pretty sure people have asked questions before - like where do I get the latest software. The Logitech 7 software seems to battle with the HK software even though they install in different directories. You can configure your devices with the logitech but it won't install the updates for me after I select them. I don't see a section in the HK software for updating the firmware.

Both Logitech and HK should have their lastest firmware posted on the drivers download page so you know what the current version is.

As for the remote - I really like the rubber buttons and it is nice and slim but I like the 880's hourglass figure for easy gripping. Both have advantages and disadvantages but HK's suppport page really SUCKS.

I just received my TC30 and am having trouble with the installation process. The installation disc has 2 files to which to work with: autorun.inf and setup.exe.

I'm on a mac so setup.exe is of no use to me. Upon searching, I found out that the .inf file can be opened on a mac using OsiriX. I found and downloaded OsiriX but now can't get autorun.inf to open.

Any suggestions?

BTW, mine also came with the sticker glued to the screen. Ridiculous.

Thanks in advance.

Not sure about the MAC OS ...I would think the Web Site should have something. For the sticker (yes, glued on WAY to strongly) after I peeled the paper layer off I used some wide clear tape (for packing) and just kept applying it to the screen and taking off. It pulled the glue residue right off after a few attempts. They really need something better than the sticker, just a plastic protector maybe.

Hi Angel.

I use Apple Macs and have a TC30. I used to use the Haman/Kardon web site to configure my remote, but lately that appears no to allow me to login using Safari. Instead I use the same login details on Logitech's site and Can do whatever I want to do. It evens shows an exact picture of the TC30 when you go to reconfigure button layout.

You can download the software directly from the Logitech site once you have created an account.

I would ditch the HK software and just pretend you have a Logitech Harmony remote. It's all the same behind the scenes anyway. Logitech provide the engine etc. to drive the TC30 configuration.

Go to [Link: tinyurl.com] to create a new Harmony account. If this URL doesn't appear here, just go to the Logitech site, select 'products' and go down to 'Harmony Remote'

Once you have created an account you can dowload the latest software by selecting 'Support' from the small-print menu at the very top of the screen.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the replies.

beckp: good suggestion. I tried that and it worked pretty well. Thanks. :)

scgf: for the life of me I couldn't figure it out but managed to be on my way in no time following your instructions. Thanks a whole lot. :D
