The owner of my company is pretty well off, OK hes a millionaire, and he acquires tons stuff and sometimes never uses it. After filtering down through friends and management the rest gets brought out for the employees to pick through. I came in late and they must have just thrown this out or no one else realized what it was. It came with all the instructions and hardware besides the USB cable, but I have one of those. It looks like it was barely used or not at all, I just got it programed and it works all my devices flawlessly. All those remotes have been condensed down to one and the wife is happy too.:biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

that is all just felt like bragging!

    Nice score Z. Harmony One is a great remote, and all for free. Your bragging rights are well earned.

He has brought in some really nice stuff from a laser disk player with about 1000 movies to some Martin Logans and some real nice components, but none of us ever get any dibs on those. just what is left over but still some pretty nice stuff, and cant argue with the price, lol

    agreed. it should have a IR - RF converter so that it doesn't have to be pointed.

    other than that, it is a really smart remote.
    I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

    I ran into a similar situation, but mine was at a company party where everyone in attendance got a prize. The bog stuff (360's w/kinect, TV's, Computers etc) got snapped up real quick. I had my eye on the remote from the get-go, and everyone else started taking crappy $90 Insignia BRP's and bypassed the remote.

    Congrats - I would have kept mine, but I realize I love the OEM buttons (just not the clutter). Plus I realize the SC-37 comes with a nice RF remote.

    Thanks, well she is having a difficult time working it. I came home and the TV color was all messed up and on the wrong input for TV. All she ever does it watch TV so she can use the comcast remote, oh well I like it.

    What is the average time a charge will last? I am getting about a quarter down after about four hours off the charger . Thanks

    Depending on the menu setting. I have mine set at 10 seconds and it'll last a week. No big deal it's just like a cordless phone. Most people leave theirs charging after every use but I wait until it's almost dead before I recharge.

    I love mine, and the fiancee can use it also, which is a plus. I know mine has been off the charger four days in a row, and still shows 1/4 power remaining. Great score!!

    I don't know which one I'm impressed with most :wink:

    I bought a Harmony 510 and it's getting returned very soon. I doesn't scroll down my options when I try to change settings in Audio options and I also can't change the volume of the receiver when I'm on the Satellite option (I know this ones fixable). Most of all my wife is pissed I paid $54 for a remote :eek:
