I read this thread with great interest. I have a Harm 1000 and extremely frustrated with the touch screen. Changing channels is very inaccurate. My sausage digits will press '2-3-3' and all I get is channel 2, then 3 and back to 2 again. Or I inadvertantly hit the 'help' button. I like the IR aspect and the Harmony software but the remote itself is marginally useful in my experience. I was interested in the Harmony 1 but would really like an IR option. Are the URCs as easy to program?
