This is a great remote, check the dates on previous reviews

I thought it was only fair to write a review to comment on this remote.
Like many people, I was slightly apprehensive to buy this remote even with the great recent deal here on Amazon for the 1000 & RF extender combo. I already had an 880, but really wanted a remote that had a nice touch screen and worked with radio frequency (RF), so I didn't have to worry about my kids holding the remote still while pointing it at all the various devices.
If you look at many of these reviews, they are either older ones or recent reviews where people have HAD the remotes for a long period of time. There was a software/firmware update which came out in early February which has taken care of many or all of the issues presented, specifically, the remote pairing with the RF extender, the need to repair if the power goes out, etc.
The touchscreen itself has been fine, it also makes use nicely of some hard buttons. The RF extender and IR blasters work well, and the unit is totally customizable to work with your components. I had a small amount of difficulty with getting one macro to work, so I called Logitech and had the best technical support experience I have ever had. Problem was solved with a friendly and knowledgable attitude.
Bottom line, if you can get this on sale again, snap it up quickly with the RF extender (if needed), update the software/firmware when you first set it up, and you will be very happy.
I have previously owned the Logitech Harmony 880 and several different models of $200-$400 remotes from the Home Theater Master line, and this is definitely a well made, well though out remote. It certainly sounds like previous purchasers got a bad deal as Logitech didn't have all the bugs out, but purchasers at this point are getting a fine model.
