Old thread revived here.
I really like this Logitech Harmony 890 remote but i have two issues with it:
1) It is so slick through the centre that gripping it makes it difficult to hold in one hand and press high or low buttons without having it slide back to the centre of your palm.
2)
Why in St. Murphy's name must i ALWAYS have an internet connection to program it? 
Heaven forbid i'm on dialup or for that matter, or am a country yokel without internet but one who owns a HT setup because getting into town for a bloody movie is too damn far!!
There should be the option to connect to the net when searching for equipment codes and such, but the programming of the unit should be based out of the home computer, not solely via the net.
I guess this is one remote i cannot recommend to my rural located, dialup-only-option father.
