Wow...I really don't *need* this...but it seems so USEFUL.
Sigh. It's the 'Hot Deals' effect, bastard cousin of the AT effect.

Thanks OP.

I know, this is why I hate AT Hot Deals. Making me spend money I don't need to be spending.

But thanks op, and allisolm. I still regret passing up the 360 Harmony remote for $60 around Christmas, hope this is good enough to replace it.

Me neither.

guess you get what you pay for for free shipping.
Maybe one day I'll try prime, but I don't buy nearly enough right now from amazon to make it worthwile.

How does this one compare to the Harmony 550? I bought one of these a couple of years ago and it kind of sucks. It does not seem to be very responsive and the buttons aren't exactly the easiest to hit 'just right'. Believe me, I am looking for something new...

(The picture seems to look a bit different from mine. The one I linked could be a newer revision?)

You can see the differences here but I don't know anything about the differences in feel.
