On the bright side, it's nice you still have your dad even if you
didn't make it by dad's day.

We recently got the older model Logitech Harmony 520 (http://

with it and she can actually watch TV now. haha. Before we had several
different remotes but this replaced all of them. I was very very
impressed by the Logitech software to setup the remote.. it was a
breeze..also the battery life is great, it has been over 6 months and
still have not changed them.

I recently bought a Harmony 510, because it handled all I needed, and
I've been pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to set up. I
especially like, if something goes wrong, you can recover your settings
online.

However, I probably wouldn't have bought it, if it had not been priced
at $50, and I had an Amazon gift certificate for $15 to use. For $35, I
didn't figure I was risking anything, and it turns out I wasn't.

I'll just chime in... I've been using an older Harmony 520 for
years. I find the setup to be pretty easy, though some don't like the
web interface. I've switched one component since I set up the remote,
and I had no problem changing the setup. The best part is that my
wife can watch TV, use the DVR, play a CD, watch a DVD, listen to the
radio, without asking me to turn everything on and set all the correct
inputs. }
