Get it5
Bought the 555 Model a week ago very impressed. Did not have any problems loading software found it very straight forward I would say I have average technical knowledge. Only downsides were LCD screen allows 4 function options at a time and function options assigned to the LCD screen were not logically laid out but this was easy to remedy if a little time consuming. I decided to get another remote for downstairs and move the 555 upstairs. Decided on the 785. Very pleased with both, would recommend the 785 because of charging dock and larger LCD screen allowing 6 options at a time. Minor niggles on 785 are flimsy USB cover and no option to vary back lighting. Even taking into account these niggles easy 5 Star rating for both. I

OK if it worked properly.2
I purchased this `Harmony 785 Remote` in October 2007 and had to get it replaced as soon as i received it due to a fault. The backlight stayed on all the time and the time did not change. Contacted Logitech who told me there was a problem and so had to send it back for a replacement.

The second Harmony 785 Remote worked fine up until this week (March 2008) and it developed the SAME fault with the backlight & clock.

Will be returning this second control for a refund.
If it wasnt for this problem, the control was easy to use and i liked it, But reading other reviews from other sites about this control, i have decided not to replace it with another 785.

Might be OK if it worked1
First one wouldn't power off so batteries lasted 3 hours on a charge.
Second one wouldn't update configuration - a fairly fundamental problem.
Gave up and got a refund - no problem.

The programming is extremely long winded. The downloaded programmes bore very little resemblance to the remotes they were supposed to emulate. I suspect it would never have replaced all remote controls. Therefore yet another table top ornament.
