Logitech Harmony 555 Universal Remote control LCD Remote Control

This remote is absolutely fantastic. I've been gathering quite the army of remotes and it was suggested to me by my wife that we might want to consolidate of few of these remotes. Having recently purchased a 360, this was really my only option, and what a great purchase it turned out to be!

I own a Mac and was pleasantly surprised to see that I could use this remote with my Mac. I have to admit I am a newbie when it comes to remotes like this. I have never seen a remote that comes with an install CD and a USB cable. I was hesitant about spending the money on this remote but man has it been worth it.

The online tool allows you to set up different tasks so that turning on your TV will turn on my amp to the proper setting, change my TV input and turn on my PVR. These tasks were getting annoying with the previous remotes that I had. I only wish they had an offline app that would allow me to do all of this. Once I have my settings all good to go I just need to connect my remote to my computer via the provided USB cable and transfer the settings, this would be slick if it were Bluetooth and I could do this without going to get my remote, but then the price would have been a bit more.

I did find that that the ffwd and play button's timing seemed a bit off so that when I ffwd through commercials on my recorded shows with my PVR it takes a second or two for the play button to react.
