I really really really like that remote as well. I reviewed one of the older models for CocoonTech a little over a year ago, and while it had a few issues, it was definitely very impressive (and wished I didn't have to give it away :lol Looks like they resolved most of those issues in this remote, and it looks stunning.

For that much buy an Ocelot and automate it.

Rupp, an Ocelot would be a little tough to use on the couch for channel surfing!

That's why I said ...and automated it. :lol: I haven't used a remote in my TV room in months. I tap the touchscreen or more often use my laptop that stays nearby.

It's all about WAF :lol: I personally am happy, but my wife doesn't even like the 8in1 radioshack remote I have, which can be programmed using JP1, and it still isn't enough She liked the Harmony I reviewed very much, the buttons feel great, great size, and the new one looks fantastic.

There are a few reviews floating around, but I havent really read em, as I'm not considering buying one of these.

One thing to note, is that it is NOT a touchscreen. There are buttons on the sides of the LCD that you have to push.

It is pretty cool looking, and I especially like the background lights ((I think I read that they come on when motion is detected, but dont quote that))

I have it. Right now they are only available at Best Buy but should be hitting big all over the world on June 19th. I have some links to reviews posted on my site and I expect to post my own in a few days. You can use this link to go direct to the Harmony section of my site

All in all, the Harmony technology is AWESOME.

I have this one as well. I had a pronto before, but while the screen is cool, using it for buttons (touchscreen) is not the right way to go after using it. This has the right blend of customization and hard buttons and is comfortable.

Most of all: The wife loves it! She was complaining about the setup but absolutely loves this one. I bought it one night and it was done the next day. One note: You have to call them if you are using Tivo device ID's for multiple tivo's (they don't offer it on the website but will put the codes in for you).

I thought it was pricy was looking to see if the price would come down, told my wife and she just said 'buy it, I am sick of these remotes!'.

Highly recommended if you are willing to spend what is alot even for a cool remote.
