Nice universal remote
|
I recently bought a new TV that has more device inputs than my old one. All my components are now directly connected, and you have to use the TV input to select which device to watch, in addition to selecting a different input on the receiver for the sound.
Realizing that my wife would want to kill me for making life harder, I looked into the Harmony remotes. I had heard good things before, but what I didn't realize is that they are programmed using a program that runs on your home PC. This, plus the fact that Amazon had a refurbished model 659 for around $45 clinched it for me.
This thing is very easy to program. You step through the program on the PC and set up various activities like "Watch TV", "Watch a movie", and "Listen to radio". Once you've got it all set, you download all the settings to the remote over a USB link. This part is a bit time consuming (3-5 minutes).
Finally, you go to the TV and test it out by pressing each activity button. The remote turns everything on, and selects the right inputs. If something doesn't work, you can press a help button on the remote and it will ask you questions like, "Is the TV turned on?". As you answer these, it sends additional signals then asks another question like, "Did that fix the problem?".
If the problem recurs each time you use that activity, then you can reprogram the remote to correct the behavior.
The best part is that now my wife can watch tv, listen to radio, or whatever without having to select all of the right inputs and turn on each device. If something doesn't come on properly, the remote guides her through the help questions until everything is working. |
