You're welcome. Upgrading is a snap. I returned the 520 to WM and eventually got the 670 at BB and then all I basically had to do was hook it up to the computer and use the "replace remote" option to load everything I had programmed into the old 520.

I had the same problem. DVR and LiveTV commands were not available. CS put them in.
Anyone else have problems with that seller? I ordered 3 of these remotes, and the box only contained 2, although the packing slip noted 3. I am on my second email in a week, with no response. Looking at his feedback, quite a few people have had similiar problems with this guy over these remotes.
Also I noticed that one of the boxes was opened and put back together. That I can live with, as the remote still works. False advertising, but not a HUGE deal. The non receipt of what I paid for is what bothers me. Nothing really to do though except for negative feedback (as if it matters...) if he doesnt respond, even though I will give him ample time to do so.

Yeah, mine were shipped quickly also. If they were all there, I would be a happy camper. I am assuming (out of the goodness of my heart) that the other remote is being shipped by itself for whatever reason (even though I saw someone else order three and only got two on feedback). Wait and see
I think I might pick one up since I can't find my remote to my Onkyo A/V receiver. I have another Cox universal remote programmed to my TV and A/V receiver. I usually just have two remotes. The 722 and the Cox remote. The Cox remote as 4 power buttons on it for each device so I just use that one to hit the power on the A/V receiver and TV instead of having to change modes on the 722 remote. The Cox remote can change all the video modes on the Onkyo except for DVD video mode so I have to get up for that one.
I don't think I can give up the 722 remote... I just love the layout and feel to the buttons. You can quickly find guide, bump 30 sec, pause, etc. All the major buttons have a unique feel to them. Whoever designed the remote I have for the 722 really took the time to think about it.

I felt the same as you initially. But after a few days, I have gotten used to it.
My big achievement with it was programming my favorite Sirius channels. Don't ever have to turn on the TV again ( I run them through A/V receiver AUX )
I have two Harmony remotes, the 550 (a lot like the 520) and a Harmony ONE. I like them both, but I LOVE the ONE. I put 5 remotes worth of codes into this thing. It has a Favorites Menu for channels, and you can find the little Icons for the channels online for free. I love the fact that you can put commands into the activities Commands screens to run different devices, so you can change the surround affect on your reciever, the aspect on your tv, etc, without having to leave the activity. These things are brilliant. I bought one for my In-laws for Christmas. Now that I have had a Harmony, I will not be without one.
I'm still waiting for my remote from this seller. It's been a couple of weeks. Looks like its time to send a email.
Yes, I got 2 in the same box, as ordered... and then I promptly used that same box to ship the one I decided I didn't want to the pub member who bought it. 
hmmm, well I am guessing that he simply forgot to put my third one in, which is understandable. I just wish he would respond to my messages. I guess I will give him until weeks end.
Thank YOU for the reply
What if you dont know the model # of some of your equipment? For example, I have a sony surround sound system thats a few years old now, but have no idea what the model # is and dont have the manuals anymore.
