The Navin and his Remote control collection
 
Mr Navin.

So, you've had that remote control for a few months now. Do you still have
it?

How are you finding it, a few months on?

What the hell was it called again?

muchos grathias..

Harmony SSt 659 - still got it and still love it. Support from their
site is superb - best thing about it is the fact that it's activity
based and you don't need to be bothered with discrete codes. email if
you want more info/pics etc


thanks Patrick.

I think I am going to get one soon.

cheaper and more reliable to shop at www.bluedo.com


They don't list the 768,
and isn't the 659 about $100 less rrp ?

If you buy the remote from the harmony shop.. for some reason it changes
from US to CAD but the numbers remain the same.. i.e. was 199 USD but is
now 199 CAD

No idea why ;)

Shame the US$ has been getting better, while the CAD$ worse. :-(
Do they ship direct then ?

BlueDo came back and said they don't do the 768 anymore
and SurfRemoteControl don't currenlty ship to the UK.

there were loads of retailers in the US selling both remotes. I think it
was www.shopping.com which listed them..

There's some pretty good prices on Ebay,
one even says they're an official supplier.

& VAT)

Well I bought mine at 9pm on Sunday..

I'm praying that it miraculously appears with no VAT.
I live in ENGERLAND :)

(near london actually)..

I suppose we could have done.. but as I said, I ordered mine after
Patricks first response.

I bought it direct from their site since they have that weird US/CA
dollar thing going on.
