Harmony One Universal Remote

Yesterday I got my Harmony One remote made by Logitech, but I didn’t get around to configure it until today. The software for configuring it are windows and mac, I think Logitech should consider making the software for Linux aswell. There is a project called Concordance but currently it doesn’t support the Harmony One model. So, I used Virtualbox with WinXP to do my configuration and it worked nicely without any hassle. I had some problems with my Samsung PS42Q97HD when I was setting up my media centre (which is a Rapsody N35), somehow when it was supposed to switch to HDMI it promptly changed to DTS which was not what i had configured it to do. Well, poking around in the configuration for a while I found an alternative way to fix it with my Samsung by “hard setting” every input. I really like the “One-touch” access feature that enables all units in one go, like if you’re going to watch a movie it powers on all units belonging to that activity. If you’re planning of buying a universal remote I highly recommend this one, it’s really good, ergonomic and it looks stylish.
