Harmony 520 Remotes Under $30

[jcrandall]

I normally wouldn't post anything having to do with ebay like this, but for right before Christmas these Harmony 520's make a great gift. I ordered 2, and coming from Minnesota they should be here in time for the holiday.

Harmony remotes for $29 with free ship - never thought I'd see this day.

Plus - they are new (not refurb) in retail packaging and the seller has over 2,700 of them, so they should be available for a few days.

Just to mention, I'm not promoting this particular seller or anything, just thought I'd share what looked like a great deal.

 

[bhawley]

Thanks. Just ordered two.

I dunno much about Harmony, but looks like a great price. Would this unit control the HR22, the BD35 and my Onkyo?

 

[stone phillips420]

i dont see why not this remote controls everything but ps3 due to bluetooth ive found
owned a few for awhile and at this price i cant pass up a few extras

 

[gadgtfreek]

If you are buying it from ebay, make sure you read this thread that I posted:

Right now its down to 8%, but still you save some money.

I'm assuming you can use this so that the Harmony can "learn" the codes to control the BD player on the PS3? I'm also assuming that if this is the case then it will work for all Logitech Harmony remotes including the 880?

Nah, no need to learn, the codes where already in harmony's database, if it's the same one I got.

Lifted from a review on Amazon

"Getting my Harmony 880 configured was a cinch. Under the "add device" menu, I selected "Game Console (with DVD)", "Nyko" as the manufacturer and entered "Blu-Wave" as the model. The key repeat rates, etc., needed to navigate around PS3's XMB seem to work well, so no tweaking of the advanced settings on my Harmony was necessary."

So, yes, will work with the 880.

Just ordered one.

Neato... I have the Harmony 880 already for one TV, and wanted to get another for the other TV but have been putting it off. And i didn't want to spend too much. For $30, I'll pick up one of these.

Which is better to get? The Harmony or the new Dish 21.0? I have three IR components (including TV).

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Mine shipped yesterday.

The Dish 21.0 is better since it can do UHF, but its not a full universal remote like the Harmony is to fully control your other devices.

So are you saying it's only easier to get device codes rather than more control of other devices? ie, I would not have any more control of my AV receiver than I do now with the 5.3?
