Still, I would rather spend another $100 or so over the Harmony to be able to do what I want. I got my Pronto NG TSU3000 for around $150 on ebay or somewhere, and that was with the rechargeable battery and dock. I admit, due to the hardware design, my setup is less than elegant (that dedicated home button I was talking about is attached to the "Channel Up" hard button), but it passes the only important test: the wife can use it. I then have a button dedicated in all modes to return me to the main screen.
When the DVD button is pressed, it's set to automatically go to the DVD screen, and I use the Pronto for the DVD player, because you rarely need more than three or four buttons (and the D-pad) to control a DVD player. My Pronto is used 80% of the time just for its home screen, which I've set up with macros for the various inputs (Tivo, DVD, Power Off, etc.). I wouldn't trade the Tivo remote for anything. But still, even if I had the Harmony, I would not give up the Tivo remote. My coffee table, at all times, has my Pronto and my Tivo remote. I guess I should have added that I keep two remotes.
Harmony 650 invalid serial number software#
One thing that particularly annoys me about the official software is moving the soft buttons around - you have to click, move the mouse to the new location, click, move the mouse to the new location etc.Įdit: Or perhaps you're talking about replacing the software on the actual remote control? I think that might be quite a bit harder again. It still requires a ton of customisation work though as everyone who has one knows. Of course if they go bust the remote is basically useless. That's part of the good thing with Logitech - you just tell it your components and it does a sort of generic set up with all the codes retrieved from the central database. So you're talking about writing the main application from scratch? I would think that would be quite a mammoth task if just to get all the remote codes. So I figure it would be neat to remove their software in its entirety and create something new.
