The remote feels good my hand. Good thing that it can be programmed for a bunch of station presets, because to get to the manual number input screen is about 3 screens deep. The lack of a permanent number pad contributes to a very contemporary appearance. But, if you find that you forgot to program one of your favs, you may end up like me, searching for the component remote to access my channel number and put off programming the Ultimate until a "later time". Fortunately, when I do get time to do the programming, it is super easy with the Harmony on-line tool.

The bad: It's a "two handed" remote. By that I mean that you have to hold it in your hand to use it. You can't just leave it on the end table or other surface and reach over and push a button on it because the bottom is rounded. Another design flub is that the transport keys are located above the touch screen ! If you want to push play, rewind, pause etc., and you brush your hand across the touch screen before it times out you'll change the channel, or something else. Very irritating!! The good: It's very easy to program, and the charging cradle it a winner !

In general it works well, however the touch screen doesn't seem to be especially reliable. Sometimes it works well, and some times it takes several tries to activate the function on the screen. i also cannot get the forward/backward skip commands to work with the 'hard' keys. i get fast foward/fast reverse only. Skip does work properly from the touch screen. There is a number pad available, but it isn't all that easy to get too. It's generally faster to go the nearest favorite and use the channel up/down keys if the channel you want isn't one of the 50 favorites. The non-touch Harmony 650 has dedicated keys for most functions, and that makes it easier to use since you don't have to search through the touch screen menu's and it has the number pad as dedicated keys.

Needed to replace a Harmony 650 that I'd wore out the buttons on from use. After upgrading to a new TV, decided to upgrade to a more advanced remote, and Harmony was best option. Was able to get this remote for a little over $100 and so far its proven well worth it. Imported my 650 config into my new remote and in 5 minutes it was working great. Only tweeked a few settings so far and easy via newer software interface. Overall ver pleased with this remotes performance.

fast forward stopped by tapping, i have to use a button. The volume doesn't work unless i change over to TV even though i programmed ti to change through the sattelite box. I like that it is chargeable and that it lights up.
