I found this item very simple to program, but you need a computer/laptop. The software is run and you tell it the make and model # of your receiver, tv, etc., and it loads everything for you automatically. It worked well with my PS3, Xbox 360, TV and receiver. I just saw an update that claims it now works with the Nest thermostats and can be configured to control your Roku. It does offer some customization, but I didn't have any reason to do so.

I found mine to be very easy. It is different than my previous remote but I was able to download all my favorite channels and presets from my old remote. The only thing is that you need to use the myharmoney software, it does not work with previous software. When firmware updates are sent you have to take the hub and the remote to a computer if you don;t use a laptop and they can take a while to download. Remote is very touchy you can change the channel or what ever very easily, best to collapse the screen when not in use.

Call Logitech. They have great customer service. My control box burned out on an older model and since they didn't have that model anymore they had me ship just the control box to them and they gave me a whole new system, a newer one! For free.

I got a manual with mine. It works well. Programming it with the remote is tedious at best but you can plug it into your computer for initial programming.

If you don't have the instruction the code is 0000 or 1111 if not you can down load the instruction off of Logitech. Good luck

Yes, it is very easy. It takes less than a minute, sitting in the drivers seat, with the short instruction that comes with it. The little tricky part is that it reprograms the car also, so you must reprogram all the remotes. The other ones will not work unless reprogrammed at the same time. Only a few seconds to do each one. - John

I programmed mine manually I looked up my codes online then put them in. It was very easy once I started. Took less than 30 minutes.

Easy with cable + CHIRP opensource software. More difficult if you use keypad plus cant set alphanumeric labels w/o software. Ive heard people bitch and moan about programming the uv-5r but i found it incredibly easy, just like the Technical ham radio test.

Get a USB Bluetooth adaptor. That will allow you to program. That's what I did before I had a Bluetooth enabled PC.

Yes, it is quite easy to program. You could also pop the plastic piece off the front & just use the key. I would charge a small deposit for the key.

You should be able to program it yourself. I was able to program mine. It did take two tries though. The instructions indicated that I might have to reset the code sequence by hitting one of the buttons several times (something like 20 times). I ended up having to do that after my first try failed. Once I did that then my second attempt at programming worked just fine.

Yes, I did it a few weeks ago. Much easier than programing assuming your current one is already programmed.

Hey A. I got the Saitek Cyborg Unit and had it for a couple of days of game play for WOW. I didn't like it at all, some reason being, Is it felt like it was constructed "cheap". By that I mean the adjustable features of the palm pad and thumb control had too much play (loose). I didn't like the software for the Key setup either, it require to make time and effort. I would suggest the Logitech G13. Ton of option, easy plug and play, programming key can be done with just a couple key strokes. And the Dpad can be assign to control mouse. link to show and prove its easy. http://logitech-en-amr.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/31714/section/troubleshoot/crid/411/lt_product_id/5123/tabs/1,3,2,4,5/cl/us,en Hey A.

Just download and install the software from Logitech website. Use it to change the programming of the buttons...

It should work just fine for you. We had no problem programming it on the first try.

I installed mine myself in about 15 minutes. There was no programing involved. Just plug it in.
