I bought the Harmony 1000, and I had problems setting it up. The support staff was great, it took some time to figure it out and once the problems were resolved my unit works fine now. All my components are inside a cabinet in another room. If you have a similar set up, you must remember when you turn all your componets on you must point the Harmony 1000 towards your Plasma. This will turn your Plasma and all your other componets on.

On ocassion the remont doesn't respond to the commands. I then take the battery out for 30 seconds and reinsert the battery. The unit reset itself and it works fine. Once you get use to this remote, it is a great unit. I currently have no more problems with it.

p.s. to my own note - the Sima isn't perfect (why I'm still investigating). I'd also like a little more flexibility in which controls I bring over from the unit remotes and how to name them. Anyone know of something that can do this? (e.g., my “Time/Disp” button brings up the cable menu, and the “Menu” button brings up the list of shows recorded - because I couldn't rename those buttons or others)

For those who were disappointed, I wanted to mention that I also received a different model universal Logitech and it was a nightmare to set up, so I don't use it. I have been using a Sima model for years (Sur-47) and since it's practically falling apart now (years of being dropped multiple times, still works but controls are a little less responsive now) I'm looking for a new one.

Anyway thanks for the comments here, because I will probably go back to Sima for a replacement. It also has both LCD and hard buttons in combo, and RF as well. Not quite as pretty as the Logitech, but for starters you don't have to hook it up to your computer for some kind of useless setup (as I experienced with the Logitech).
