 Logitech Harmony 670 Horror Stories
|
 "Don't Waste Your Money - This remote is a huge disappointment. I can't believe all of the good reviews it's gotten. We have to replace the batteries every 2-3 weeks. We switched to Lithium batteries and they lasted 6 weeks. You shouldn't have to change batteries that often. The problem is the remote NEVER shuts off. When all devices are off, the LCD stays on. Customer support states that this is normal. Has nobody else encountered this problem or do they think it's normal to replace the batteries so often?? Also, every once in awhile the remote becomes unprogrammed and it needs to be refigured all over again. Very frustrating. We spent way too much money on this remote for the amount of problems we've had with it. Not a happy customer and I wish we could take it back."
 "Didn't work with mt TV and DISH Network - I bought this remote to ease my life and it just made things more complicated! I figured for the price of the remote it would change my entertainment world!!! The remote would not work changing my TV between the different AV channels and would not control my DISH DVR! I would not recommend this product to any one with a Magnavox LCD and the DISH DVR!!!!"
 "The programming UI is exasperating. It asks you for the precise model number of your equipment -- then even makes you double-check this (for no apparent reason) -- then (my failure rate was 50%) tells you it can't find the model number in its database. It then tries to program the unit by memorizing key presses from your existing remote -- except that the keys it asks for aren't even close to those on my remotes. Then it gives up. Turns out what you have to do is to ""guess"" at the ""generic"" product code for your equipment. Nowhere is there a list of the generic codes that it knows, so you can make an educated guess at what the generic code might be. No, instead it makes you guess and guess and guess until finally you may get lucky and stumble upon it."
 "Good Start but not there yet - I have had the Harmony 670 for about a month. I can see where they are going with it but it definitely needs improvement to make it useful. The set up was not bad and it handled most of my hardware. It did not handle my RF direct-tv receiver and it could not get the line-in on my Sony vcr to work correctly. I have worked around both of these problems but the main difficulty with this unit lies in the overall design. The buttons are tiny and very close together. The button labels are nearly unreadable because the font is so small. My eyesight is not perfect but I have no problem reading the newspaper without glasses. To read the labels on the harmony I have to have full light and magnifier glasses. Every logiteck device I own has been a delight to use but this thing will probably end up in the closet before long. This is a classic case of function suffering for form."
Hang onto your seats - There's more!

 The unique QuickPower feature makes controlling multiple devices a breeze! Hit QuickPower, then turn on and off devices with one touch. The Logitech Harmony 690 Advanced Universal Remote does not have the QuickPower feature.
Sound cool? There’s a lot more! The macro capability is almost like you have magic buttons on your remote! You can hit one button on the remote to activate your entire entertainment system. For example, one touch turns on the TV, turns on the DVD player, plays the DVD and turns on the surround sound, too! With other remotes, you have to hit TV, turn it on, hit DVD, turn on the DVD player, hit play, hit AUX, turn on the surround sound - a big hassle! With one-button control, our remote just makes it so much easier!
X10 is the world’s leader in remote controls. We even make them for other companies. So when it comes to creating the best remote around, we know a thing or two. The iconRemote is designed as the one and only remote you will ever need. Yes, that means you, because it is so easy to set up and use, ANYBODY can do it!
And you won’t find a better price, guaranteed! We even guarantee the lowest price you will find on the X10 iconRemote. You’re probably wondering how we can sell a remote with all the same features and more for such a lower price than the Logitech Harmony 690 Advanced Universal Remote. The answer is simple: Factory Direct. You are getting our remote directly from X10, eliminating the middle man. Oh, and did we mention the free shipping?

Built in Channel Logos? Our remote’s got ‘em, the Logitech Harmony 690 doesn’t!
Sure, the Logitech Harmony 690 lets you label your favorite channels. However, to do so, you have to surf the web to find your favorite channel icons, download them, format them, save them and send them to your remote. What a headache! Here’s a better idea: Get our remote. It has all the channel logos you can imagine already built in.
With our remote, channel surfing has never been easier! You set all your favorite channels with the cool “Favorite Channels” feature. Then, all of the familiar icons for your favorite channels are displayed right on the full color LCD screen. When you want to watch ESPN, just push the button next to the ESPN icon. It can store up to 90 favorite channels for each user. You’ll never have to remember what channel CNN is, because our remote remembers everything for you!
Get your own customizable iconRemote today!
For the first time, your “Favorites” can actually be yours, unlike the Logitech Harmony 690!
Yes, the Logitech Harmony 690 allows you to program a set of favorites using your computer. The problem is, you and your wife don’t share the same favorites. You spend most of your time bouncing between FOX News, CNN, The History Channel, Comedy Central, and Speed. She is always watching ESPN, ABC, QVC, Oxygen, and UPN. Don’t worry! our remote has your back!
With convenient “HIS” and “HERS” buttons, you can set up your own custom profiles that only display the channels that you like to watch. When you hit the “HIS” button, only CNN, FOX NEWS, MSNBC, Comedy Central and your favorites show up on the LCD screen. When your wife hits the "HERS" button, only her favorite channels come up.
Heck! You can even set up separate pages for each of your interests. One for your Sports Favorites, one for your News Favorites, and one for your Movie Favorites! There’s even a way to edit the text on the icons, which is nice for saving multiple channels from the same network. For example, you can have one icon for HBO and a different one for HBO HD. It’s easy!
It will store 90 favorite channels for up to 10 users, so everyone gets their own custom profile. It’s your own personalized remote! You can also set up profiles for each of your kids. And with the KidSafe feature, you can even limit the channels your kids are allowed to watch!
And in case you were wondering, no, the Logitech Harmony 690 Advanced Universal Remote does not have HIS and HERS buttons or easily customizable profiles.
The Logitech Harmony 690 Cannot Match Our Vibrant Color LCD Screen
For many of you home theater lovers, your living room setup is your pride and joy. If you’re like most people, you’ve got a remote for EVERYTHING! That can really clutter up the coffee table.
That’s why we designed our remote. Not only does it replace all of those other remotes and clear up the clutter, but it has sharp, vivid, color display built in!
The large, color LCD is awesome. It lights up so you can read it both day and night. It lets you set up the buttons on the remote to perform ALL of the functions of your other remotes. You can even rename each button and see the name on the display, so you never forget which button does what!
our remote even stores all of your Favorite Channels and then shows the channel icons brightly on the color LCD. And, the color LCD is much more vivid than the many other LCD universal remotes. It’s like having your own little plasma TV right on the remote!
