Logitech Harmony 1100 Advanced Universal Remote Control Review

[Dibbo79]

Do you know if the remote will operate the 'Dreambox DM-800 hd pvr'?.....

[BushTurkeyProduction]

compared to other uni remotes, this makes it seem like if you want to watch something or turn on a device you'll have to wait an extra 5seconds just for it to turn on

[bonjourtag]

Does it make popcorn and get ya a beer as well??

Hi, thanks for posting this review. I love my Harmony One, but an 1100 would be a sweet upgrade. How did you control the PS3 - do you use the Logitech Harmony adapter PS3?

Thanks.

[muzz09]

i am a amateur with all of this but is there a certain distance this can control from like if i was in another room could i control a device in a seperate room?

[black25330]

I thought at any minute this guy was going to say I could save 15% by switching to Geico.

[mosset4]

just picked up one from Best Buy for $230....

[sheffieldmvp]

i think its funny all these review brag about it turning on the tv, then the dvd player and automatically playing the dvd.

Don't you have to turn on the dvd player to put the movie in anyway? Is it just me b/c it seems retarded to keep boasting about a feature most people will never use...

[tanderloco]

@sheffieldmvp well the remote has a lot more to it than the dvd player. I use it to start the tv, av-receiver, tv-tuner and media-pc. i previously also used to control lights in the living room, xbox and wii. The most use is the tv and media-pc and no need to put in anything. Remember to learn about activities - some people don't understand this concept and use the remote more or less like any standard remote - this is not recommended, the strength of this remote is that it can rule them all!

[GregPacillo]

is that Michael Caine doing the review? lol

[NewYorkCityTimes]

Is it possible to operate every device seperately, such as TV, Bluray, Cable Box? because so far in all reviews I only see the setup where you press watch tv and all devices turn on at once, I much rather operate then on an individual basis. Thanks.

[davomrmac]

@NewYorkCityTimes Yes you can.

[NewYorkCityTimes]

@NewYorkCityTimes Thanks, 1 more question, is it difficult changing channels being that one screen has the numbers 0-8 and you have to go to the second screen to get to the 9 button? Thanks again.

[davomrmac]

@NewYorkCityTimes Really sorry I no longer have this, but from memory it was fine, as I set up channel icons.

[AdminSmithee]

but does it has 3D?

[BUZZEY15]

can you put 2 tvs on this remote

[barkiefilms]

@BUZZEY15 yes

so is tat means tis divice can control all the things in ur house?? all in 1??

[Simobelly]

Excellent review, another option is the Harmony 1000i; this is a very similar remote control but can be up to $150 cheaper than the Harmony 1100. I've used this remote for about 3 years now and the reliability is fantastic.

[kaosvr426]

I'd love to get one of these

[principalmark]

Dave - another good review (as always) but why didn't you review the Harmony 900 with RF extender built in?

It has the same circuitry inside as the 1100 (I was told this by Logitech support)

Having been a user of the 900, I can tell you that it's not worth buying the 1100 without spending the extra on the RF extender. The 11 looks sexier and has that wow factor but the 900 is in my opinion better for everyday use.

[davomrmac]

@principalmark I might try and do a Harmony 900 review in the future.

[bigal1974uk]

Nice vid. I have the logitech Harmony one which is very similar to this except it has a smaller screen, has the same icons, colour screen, is a normal remote shape, has muti page menu's for different buttons and half the price. I use to have 5-6 remotes with the missus giving me a hard time cos she could'nt watch Blu-Ray then back to TV and now just one touch of a button and done. Would never now give up my Harmony one. ps you do need to buy a logitech IR to Bluetooth converter for PS3 control.

[davomrmac]

@bigal1974uk Thanks for your comment, appreciated.

[2Old4Toys]

An absolutely dreadful product! I had one and could not get shot of it fast enough! to have to look at a bright remote touch screen when in a darkened home theatre environment is maddening! The other options from Harmony with real play-back buttons that you can feel with your fingertips without taking your eyes of the movie is way way way better.

[adamsbil1]

Nice vid I thought that would of been a lot more expensive! It reminds me of cribs on MTV when all the celebs have these remotes lol nice gadget

[signedadam]

350 pounds, that is crazy 

[bigdavemorrison]

@signedadam £238 sounds a lot like £350 I can see how you were mistaken...

[dell11700]

awesome review dave....because of you i'm looking in to buy this product....

[davomrmac]

@dell11700 Cool, thanks for watching.

[BBBNC5123]

Do you need a special receiver that has all your devices in such as your tv, ps3 etc... or does it do it without anything?

[davomrmac]

@BBBNC5123 No extras for most devices.
