we use Harmony 850 in the living room and one housemate has a Costco
purchased 650, both work fine (within the realm that any Harmony
"works"...). My big peeve with them is they use the horrible
"activity" model which makes doing anything outside of the activity
model a royal PITA. which is really too bad because so far hardware
and ease of programing is excellent. If only they operated more like
the Home Theater Master MX-500 I have in my bedroom...
