SO JUST BE WARNED DO NOT USE WITH A WINDOWS VISTA COMPUTER IT DOES DO YOUR PC ANY GOOD!!

A very good remote
I have had several universal remotes over the years, but none can compare to this unit. I read numerous reviews and comments about the 525 and before purchasing the device, and it appeared that its owners fell into one of two camps; either 'love it' or 'hate it'. Having taken the plunge, I now join the 'love it' crowd.

I run a Sony setup (Amp, DVD and TV) with Sky HD, PS3 and Wii. Apart from the Wii (which links straight into the TV) the rest go through the Amp using HDMI and Optical cables. While setting up the remote, the most time was spent downloading and installing the latest software from Logitech. Once installed, I found the interface logical and easy to use; but do take some time to write down the model number of your devices and which device uses which input before starting (eg, the DVD is a (Sony) 'AB12345' inputing to the Amp on 'DVD' and the TV needs to be on 'AV5' to see it). This will make the software wizard easier to use. Once the 4 input devices were programmed on the PC it was simply a case of downloading the info to the remote to see if it worked; and it did.

Pressing 'Watch TV' turns on the Satellite, Amp and TV with all the devices on the correct inputs. The same goes for the DVD, Wii and PS3 (although the PS3 and Wii themselves cannot be controlled by the 525 as they use Bluetooth).

I do appreciate that some people may find the need to use a PC and the Internet off-putting just to use a remote, but if that doesn't concern you then this is a very good unit worthy of consideration. Also, before purchasing, you can go to the 525 page of the Logitech site to check if your devices are supported before buying the remote (click the 'how to' tab then 'check compatibility')

I hope this was of some use to someone!

Well done Logitech!
The decision to buy a universal remote was taken when some of the buttons on the remote for my Pace Twin PVR started to become hard to press.
When I discovered that a replacement from Pace was £22, paying £38 for an alternative that would remove the need to have 3 remotes lying around seemed like a reasonable chance to take.

My TV and DVD/VCR combo were both set up by simply choosing the make and models, but the PVR wasn't recognised. A short session of customisation followed and the PVR was set up.

Everything works fine and the old remotes have been consigned to the cupboard.

Admittedly, I work in IT,and people with a less technical background may scratch their heads a little bit more when customising their setup, but I'd guess that this would only be an issue with more obscure equipment - and this only needs to be done once, anyway.

Excellent gadget!
