First thing I must point out is what the other reviewer said:
Even though the Harmony 1000 can control 15 devices, and this RF-IR is supposed to be an extension of the remote... and in fact physically is able to control however many devices that can be within IR-shot, however the useless logitech software only lets you select up to 8 of the devices in the list to be sent to the RF extender instead of the Harmony! but you could have 2 RF extenders. Note that the Logitech web site does not mention this limitation, and even says it can support all the devices that you can fit into the cupboard, so my advice is to complain to Logitech to either lift that restriction or send you a free additional RF extender to live up to their claim of 15 devices!
So easy to set up!!! [Posted on 2008-08-23]
Logitech Harmony RF Wireless Extender
I'm not sure Logitech did a good job of marketing for this product. I didn't quite understand how it worked before purchasing it. It was so easy... First, I didn't understand the device itself it an infrared transmitter... Each of the 4 ports, will support 2 devices (with the RF Extender cables) for a total of 8 devices! Sweet! But I plugged the device into the USB port on my iMac and connected it... Set a few options, then updated my Harmony 1000 remote and bam... Done! I set the device infront of my equipment and didn't need to use one of the ports provided (at least not yet)... Also Z Electra (seller on Amazon) was GREAT!! Very fast shipping!!!

works great! Found out it worked better when I assigned the ports to each device.

This extender was easy to set up and corrected the problem I was having with my Logitech Harmony 1000 that required too precise aiming for the IR sensors in two components in my home theater system. Logitech should include it with the Harmony 1000.
RF Extender is a "Must Have" with Harmony 1000! [Posted on 2008-09-23]
Love my Harmony 1000 and can't imagine owning it without the RF Extender. I've owned them about a year and would never go back to standard remotes. Setup was a breeze and I love that I don't have to point the remote at my components. Assigning ports to specific devices was easy and a good idea since there's no need to send redundant signals to componets that don't need them.
If you keep a close eye on the Harmony 1000 and RF Extender, Amazon often has rebates if you buy the two items together. My rebate covered the entire cost of the RF Extender, making it free.
I wrote a longer review about my experience with the Harmony 1000 and RF Extender, so I don't know that much more needs to be said, other than emphatically stating that I see no point in owning the Harmony 1000 without the RF Extender. Give them a shot! If you don't like it, you can always return them. :)
