 Umm...Magical November 24, 2009
J. Agnew
I must admit, this is the first touchscreen remote that I have owned, but it is like having the power of Merlin! I for one, love this thing, granted setting up and programming can take some time, but it is well worth it. Being able to push one button and turn on everything that you have asssociated with say...playing 360. Bam!! touch the 360 button and disappear like a ninja! When you come back all is set to everything you would normally switch over to. It can even learn on the fly; that is if you setup everything right. It will correct itself if something is not on or off. Like I said, setting up takes a sec, but do it right and everything is magical.
I also like the custom buttons you can make to get more functionality out of it. It has many functions, but there may be functions that are on your remote that you want to use. This is easy to do though, and there are plenty of buttons to program if you need them. The setup is through the computer and is quick once you know what you are doing. The screen automatically cuts off, and will cut on when touched or moved; cool points. It does feel weird to hold, but that can be because it is wide, I have big hands so this is great for me. Not to mention I play games and used to the holding position. Not a big deal, you can leave it on the table and work from there if need be.
There are other things you can enhance, like your background with wallpaper and slideshows...but that has nothing to do with impressing company by first, touching the remote and them seeing it instantly turn on and light up, then pushing one button and watching there eyes while your entertainment wonderland comes to life like a bunch of ghosts are turning everything on, while you have disappeared like a ninja...awe inspiring.

No longer do I come home and have to find the remote, let alone reset everything. Awesome
Extremely happy I decided to go for it November 18, 2009

Before I bought this remote control I did a lot of research into this remote b/c almost $400 for a remote is worth spending time making sure you get exactly what you want. I have to admit that I was a little skeptical about getting it b/c of all the negative stuff about this remote. Granted, there are many many positive reviews on this remote throughout the internet but the negative stuff really stuck in my head. I am really glad I just decided to chance it and go for it. I just couldn't resist its cool sleek look.
Before I even got the remote I was prepared to spend a good 10hrs programing this thing; however, it only took me about 10min to get it up and running and I don't have a simple system either. I have a dvr box, home theater receiver, TWO LCD TV's, TWO PS3's, and a WD TV Live (media player). This is all in one system. Granted I have spent much more than 10min setting up the remote after the initail setup but after that initial 10min setup everything was working as I expected. What takes all the time, at least for me, is I started discovering more and more possibilities of the remote as I went along and I would make changes, then discover something new and make more changes. Basically, I just wanted to play with the sweet remote.
One thing I was concerned about was getting stuck in a cycle where one thing is already on, like the receiver, and I press the 'Watch TV' button and the have the remote send a power signal to the receiver and turn it off. I found that this is almost a non-existent issue. Most equipment has a frequency for Power ON and a different frequency for Power OFF even if your original remote only has a Power ON/OFF button. If you happen to have an odd ball that doesn't have this then there is a little 'Help' box you can press after the activity starts and it will go through your devices and ask you if everything on that should be on and off that should be off and is on the appropriate inputs.
I honestly can't understand how people have a hard time programming this thing. I mean, they can't make it any easier. You just enter the model number of your equipment and BAM it provides you with all the buttons. In an EXTREMELY rare case that your equipment isn't in the database then you just click the 'Learn IR' button, point the original remote at the Harmony 1100 and it record the IR frequency. Then you just create a name for the button such as 'Power' or 'Chan+'. The only problems I could possibly see people having is if their equipment isn't in the database and they lost the original remote. I am sure there is a way around this but I didn't have to go down this road b/c all my stuff was in the DB and I have the orginal remotes. If your worried that your equipment might not be in the DB, then you can check on logitech's website. I remember seeing somewhere on their site that you could enter your model numbers and it would tell you if they had it but it has just about every device made with a remote in that DB so don't worry. The only execption to this is the PS3 b/c it uses bluetooth rather than infrared but there is a 3rd party device you can get that will allow you to control the PS3.
I also remember reading it had a short battery life. I have no idea what these people are talking about. I could probably go for about a week without charging my remote and I don't really watch much regular TV. I usually watch DVRed programs that I constantly press FF and PLAY through commercials; however, maybe don't click as many buttons throughout a TV watching session as others. There is just no way that anyone could drain the battery of this thing in one day. IMPOSSIBLE! It could be that people don't realize that the battery icon that shows a half full battery that is displayed while the remote is in the charger is a static icon and doesn't change. You have to take the remote off the charger and "wake up" the remote to get the real battery reading.
As far as overcharging the remote, it can't be overcharged so you don't have to worry about how long its been in the charger.
What I am a little disappointed about is the remote is lacking in custom button images. For example, I create a custom button layout and on 'Chan+' and 'Chan-' I wish I could put an 'up' arrow or '+' as an image on the button. There are some images but not many and no way to create your own custom images either because the setup software gets the images from Logitechs website. Although, you can find websites that have all the channel logo's that you can download for your favorite channel buttons. These can be added b/c these images are uploaded on your remote from your computer.
Yes, this remote is strange to work with at first b/c it is not the typical wand style but I could tell this would be the case by looking at the picture before I bought it. For me, its not really a big deal. Most of your common buttons are the hard buttons to the right of the touch screen and it gives the remote a similar feel as a wand style like most are used to but the other buttons on the touch screen I have to use two hands and look down at the remote to press the buttons. I personally could careless about this but if that would bother you then you should consider it.
In summary: If you are having a hard time trying to decide if you should commit to this remote or not, then just buy it. I promise, you will be very glad you did.

I have the one remote and gave it to my husband. I was hoping to give him this one but as he only has one hand that works, it is to hard for him to use this one with only one hand, but with the one he has no problem, tho this is easier to see and understand then the one.
For myself I love it. Have not had it long so still playing with it. One small problem for me is the power button. I tend to pick it up by the left upper corner, and that is where the power button is. :( Still finding things out about it but so far I really like it. The Harmony remotes are the only ones I have found that work for ALL the controls for our dish pvr/dvr. But it works for SO much more. If you can afford it, or get it used, it is a great remote. (hmmm, wonder if I can program my xmas tree lights on it. lol)
 Logitech 1100 is NOT RF November 14, 2009

The description of this product is misleading.
If you have, like I do, Hunter Fans and X10 controls, this remote will not control them.
It will only do IR (Infrared) and will not control any RF (Radio Frequency) devices.
On the list of equipment on Logitech web, it lists X10, but it will not work.
