Desperado,

No Fair!!!

I ordered before you! Well that is the price I have to pay for living in a warm weather state, far from the chilling winds of the north. Good luck with your new remote and I hope to have mine soon.

Peace, LTK

I have had a SST-768 for about six months and I love it. If you're having problems with the programming, I found the Harmony customer support team to be extremely helpful. Another exercise that is worthwhile is to actually teach the remote yourself rather than rely on the database. The activity based system works great and has huge WAF appeal.

This remote is wonderful so far. I have posted a full review as promised.

Any feedback on the review is appreciated. You can email me at outlaw_desperado@hotmail.com or simply put your comments in this thread if you like. Let me know if there are any aspects of the remote you would like me to discuss.

Cool review, desperado. Sounds like a pretty good remote, too.

Thanks Gonk. Your reviews inspired me to do the web based review.

I received my Harmony remote on Friday. Desperado your review was outstanding and very professional.

I just got off the phone with their tech support. I found them to be professional and knowledgeable. They helped me with two problems I was having and fixed both. I now have only one remote on my coffee table instead of four. I even think my eighty four year old mother can handle this remote the next time she visits. Well maybe not but I can hope cant I?

All in all I would recommend this remote as a possible solution for the multiple remote syndrome.

Peace, LTK

One word of warning !

I have learned from reading the remote central chat boards regarding Harmony that they do not honor their warranty if the remote is purchased from "unauthorized" dealers. "Abe's of Main" is not on their list. Check the Harmony website and select store locator. Then scroll the window down to see a list of authorized web dealers. Hopefully I will not have any problems with the remote. Then again since I paid half the price of the other dealers I guess I can afford to buy a new one if anything goes wrong.

I just had the same issue with purchasing my HTM MX-700. They've got the same disclaimer. However, I got the $349 remote for $149, so I'll live without the warranty

Personally, in the case of the MX-700 I think its ridiculous that people make such a big deal about the warranty (on remote central). I mean, let me put it this way. If you were buying $150 dvd player at best buy and they offered you a one year warranty for $200 more dollars, what would you do? Especially if the dvd player has an excellent track record of being reliable. Even if it breaks I doubt it will cost anywhere near 200 to fix. OK, rant off.

Problem solved regarding warranties and un-authorized e-tailers. Go to www.bluedo.com, request an online coupon and get a price reduction down to $112 + S&H. Bluedo is an authorized online retailer for Harmony remotes.
