Wed, 24 Jan 2007 14:05:28 -0500

This remote features a 2.5" 128x160 color LCD screen, a charging cradle, and USB connectivity so that you can customize your TC 30 to your exact needs. This is an IR (infra-red) remote with a range of up to 10m (32'), claims to have a 220 min. battery life, and has a learning feature to "steal" your functions of all your (now obsolete) remotes.

Logitech Harmony 700

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 02:20:16 -0400

The Logitech Harmony 700 is an advanced universal remote control designed to work with 5000+ brands and 225,000+ devices.

And the setup has been totally reengineered. The remote actually connects to a computer, after-which users login into Logitech’s website, download the software, and then have easy access to nearly any home entertainment device available on the market.
