After getting my new TV and setting up my old set in the kids room my wife absconded my Harmony 880. So today I ran down to Best buy to grab another remote and I found this Harmony One
I guess it just came out last week so naturally I bought one. \:\)
After setting it up I have to say I love this remote, my 880 was great but this was like going from an VW to a Porsche, it's pretty, its sleek, it has a touch screen and it can be programmed for up to 3 zones so you can use it in different rooms. Highly recommended.

I wish the Harmony site had large/close up images so you could see the button layout!

Looks like a nice remote though!

I envy you for that new Pioneer....when are you inviting us all over?

Congrats Homedad! I've been considering a universal remote myself. Can the volume control on the remote be defaulted to always control receiver volume regardless of what source (listen to music, watch dvd, etc ) is chosen?

I think this is called punch-thru with other brands of remotes.

Spoiler, with my Harmony 880 I'm able to control the reciever volume regardless of which source is selected.

Do you have a TiVo or DVR of some kind??

I just wonder how the button layout is for heavy DVR users?

If you're concerned you could go to the gym more often...

I have a Direc TV PVR.
The button layout is great, compared to the 880 the buttons are large and easy to find, what I really enjoy is all the commands for my devices are shown on the larger touch screen, makes things much easier to find during night viewing.

Yes, I believe most the Logitech Harmonys can do this.
Another thing I didn't mention is the remote comes with a new setup disc and the whole setup is easier and better looking.

I've had a Harmony 880 for the past couple years. The programming interface has become excellent. It is leaps and bounds ahead of what it was a year or two ago. You can setup the multiple receivers and have the volume only adjust the volume on one receiver across all of your "Activities" or break it down if you'd like.

I don't think I would buy a different brand of remote because I've had such good luck with my Harmony.
