Universal Remote is here!

I received my Harmony 700 in the mail today.  Actually it was delivered on Saturday and has been sitting on my porch for 2 days since I didn’t know it was there!

I got to play around with it a little and it seems pretty cool.  I think that it will do the job.  I went through the setup and created some “activities” of the most common things that we do on the TV. 

Unfortunately, it didn’t find the IR codes for my DirecTV HR20 remote control for some reason.  I had the DVR listed, but not the remote codes?   I apparently will have to go through the learning process for that remote.  Doesn’t make much sense…it is a fairly common device??

I tested it briefly and it turned on the TV and selected the inputs correctly based on the activity that I choose, but since it couldn’t control the DVR there wasn’t much else to test.   Oh and since my HTPC is dead now, I couldn’t test it either…
