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... ??????????

Do the buttons light-up?
I'm looking for the right Harmony remote, but I really need one that has a good back-light for the buttons. I'm leaning toward the mondo 1000 model, but that's twice the price of this unit.

I just got a new MX-980 / MRF-350 combo. Looking foward to setting this beast up, well sorta. I just got a 900. If you need some help. give me a holler (but read the programming manual first  ) Lots of folks like the Harmony units, but one of the downsides for me with the Harmony is that they don't have the LCD space to provide as much flexibility as I want. For example, on the MX remotes, I generally have a Sub +, Sub -, Aspect ratio, and several other commands available on the first screen of the LCD soft buttons to adjust things on the fly.

Thanks for offer Ray. I'll take you up on it most likely. I'm hoping it isn't a whole lot different than my 850.

Yes, and the touch screen on the One is larger than on the previous Harmony remotes. there is also a light on the recharging cradle that can be set at 3 different light settings.

this remote looks nice.
i just purchased an mx810 and expect it this week. i have the good old mx500 in play and have loved it for some 8 years. great remote. the 810 will be my first venture into a PC programmable remote.
i looked at the Harmony 890, but it just felt so cheap in my hands. that and the buttons were too close together. a lot folks love that remote though.
later.

I've got the Harmony 659, and really don't care for it. The buttons are all too similar in size and shape, and the LCD display is very small. The programming interface is way too "dumbed down" - I would love to be able to make it stop asking me questions about my setup. Just let me do it, damn it!!
OTOH, my wife and kids love the "Activity" buttons. Generally though, I usually end up using the original remotes.
