I purchased the Logitech Harmony One Remote having previously owned the "One4All Xsight Touch".

The remote itself is ergonomically designed and has most of the 'hard' buttons you would want however in my opinion I do think it is missing the colour buttons (red, blue, green, yellow) which are often used Sky, teletext, etc.), but these can of course be programmed on the touch screen.

The setup up is very easy if you have newer devices, but a little more involved for older devices. The software I find a little 'cluncky' and slow to update the remote.

You can program 'activities' (like 'Watch TV', etc.) but one really annoying so-called 'feature' is the auto-power-on, that happens when you go into an activity - so for example of you are in 'watch tv' and then go into 'watch dvd' it will power on the TV, but since it's already on it turns it off! Trust me, very very annoying.

The biggest gripe is that if you have to typically press a button twice when you first pick up the remote, because the first press effectively 'wakes up' the remote. I have reported both of these to Logitech.

Overall, ok, but certainly some room for improvement.
