Do I have to point the remote directly at the devices there in th corner to my left in a corner is it better than the ultimate Harmony

I believe that the remote has to have direct "eye" contact with your devices although I know there are extenders that allow for signals to be conveyed to devices thru a wired IR sensor.

I am not. But one of the GREAT things about Harmony is you can call Tech Support, talk to a live person in North America and they'll tell you if you can. If you can they'll walk you through doing it. I've had Harmony remotes for a long time. I can still talk to someone in support about a 10 year old remote. FANTASTIC company and support

Not sure - but I did find it annoying the remote did not have direction keys (ie: up, down, left, right) it only has a mouse which isn't always effective for htpc configurations especially when the application UI is normally manipulated with direction keys for quick navigation. My use was on a htpc with xbmc and had to return the product because it didn't satisfy my need. Hope this helps.Wm

Yes, all Harmony remotes are capable of controlling this device. You may refer the link below in future to help yourself understand if any of your device(s) could be controlled by which segment of Harmony remotes http://support.myharmony.com/en/compatibility

I have an Ultimate. With one single remote and a single button press, I can start up everything I need to put on the news in the morning. It turns on my TV, cable box, and AV receiver. I need the hub because of how my components are placed...they are behind a cabinet door. The hub can also control the PS3. I can quickly throw on Netflix or put on a BluRay without a problem. The Ultimate remote is beautiful. It is a great looking piece. For $300, it pays for the convenience. If $300 is too steep, check out their other remotes. I can never go back to individual remotes!

I use my Fios remote most of the time but have used the Harmony in the past. I only use the Vizeo for changing inputs and for Netflix streaming.

I live in a double wide and I can be three rooms over and the remote will still work. Not that I need it to but I tested it for this question. Remote seems to be very strong in my opinion.

I've had my SB1 for about 6 months with no issues with the remote from any angle. I have a habit of always pointing the remote towards the soundbar.

You need to get RF universal remote which don't require direct line of sight. Logitech ones are great.

Hi Leroy. Yes it is relatively easy and simple to set up. Just follow the instructions to the letter and you should be OK. If you want to use the remote from your devices in other rooms, you will need to install and set up the IR Blaster that comes with teh IoGear unit. Also do understand that the unit has limitations in range when trying to go through too many walls and over a certain distance. Other than that, the unit was great. Just did not work for me because of too many walls (4 walls) and over 75 feet distance. FRD

Not sure, but this is a clunky remote with a clunky interface. Highly recommend Harmony Smart. Very slick, very easy to program, feels good, looks good. Use smartphone if you want, but the remote is solid. For more control, Ultimate, or just add Harmony Touch to your Smart...

No, you must be able to aim the TIVO controller at the box. Any interference between the remote and the TIVO box will prevent controlling the box.

Yes. This device as well as the other Harmony remotes are Intelligent remotes. I have found to be able to control every single device in my home minus a Roku box. TiVo, X1 platform via Xfinity, and other providers DVR boxes respond well. It Is also a learning remote for tougher jobs. Make sure you get a User manual. Hope this helps. Grace and Peace be with you.

No problem at all. You don't have to do anything special, the harmony will automatically pick up all the functions ... My Recordings, OnDemand, etc. All I had to do was rename the activity from Play DVR to Watch TV.

No, Harmony 700 is an IR only remote and if you're looking for controlling components inside your cabinet we would suggest you to take a look at our Harmony Hub based remotes like Harmony Ultimate Home, Harmony Home Control, Harmony Home Hub(Hub only) remotes. These remotes come with the remote and you could also take advantage of Harmony App which are compatible your smartphones/tablets running Android or iOS.

From the myHarmony software (where you can add devices and configure your remote):"This Harmony remote is unable to control this deviceThis device doesn't have an infrared (IR) receive and therefore cannot be controlled by this model of Harmony remote.Tip: You may choose to add this device to your account to help simplify your Activities. For example, you can add this as a source device so Harmony knows what input to change your other devices to"
