Unreliable, stay away (with H1000) [Posted on 2008-03-14]
Attempted to use it with my Harmony 1000. It works for ~ 5 minutes right after updating both the remote and the extender from the computer, then stops working. The little "sending RF signal" icon does flash on the remote, but the extender does not seem to receive any signals whatsoever. Nothing gets it working again (rebooting the extender, rebooting the remote, pressing connect on the extender, etc.) -- except re-upating both the remote and extender via USB from the computer. Then it works again for ~ 5 minutes. I doubt it has to do with interference, since I am performing my tests with the remote right next to the extender. Of course, I have updated both the remote and extender with the latest firmware.
I do like everything else about the H1000, and the IR works fine, so now I'm desperately seeking an alternative RF solution for that remote.
If you have a Harmony Remote... you have to have this!! [Posted on 2008-03-15]
We have had nothing but problems with our Harmony remote, because it HAS to be pointed directly at the components for it to work. It is extremly hard to look at the touch screen and have it pointed at the components at the same time. This RF EXTENDER has made us love our remote. Now we can point the remote anywhere and it will still work.
Too complicated [Posted on 2008-04-09]
This is a slick looking device which is programmed by downloading software and entering model numbers of the hardware you want to control. In my case that was a Samsung LCD TV, a Sony Blue-Ray player, a DirecTV high def receiver and a Panasonic Surround-sound system DVD - videotape player. The first three seemed to work OK, but not the fourth, which I use strictly for sound.
Best Buy says they can make an appointment and get it to work, but, in addition to the expense, I work and am not willing to take time off for that purpose. I think it's ridiculous that Logitech is allowed to advertise a "plug and play" product when it is anything but that.
great product from harmony [Posted on 2008-06-09]

Poor Product Markings on Package [Posted on 2008-06-19]
RF Extender box states only that "Designed for Harmony RF Remotes" yet shows no product numbers for guidance. Bought Extender with Remote 670. Told afterward by Harmony Customer Service that only 880, 890 and 1000 remotes would work. Returned 670, and bought Remote 880, but that didn't work. Harmony Customer Service then said only 890 or 1000 would work, and that there was no record of our first call to document the contradictory advice. Quality of Harmony staff seems very mixed, as are their printed instructions and product guidance on the RF Extender's box.
