Date: 2007-03-14 Makes the 1000 work We'll until Logitech gets the 1000 remote working like there lower end models this repeater really makes a big difference. Date: 2007-01-30 RF Extender Works and Can Save You Money I really like this RF Extender. I've used it on the H890 remote as well as the new H1000 remote. All I can say is that it really works. You do have to hook it up to your computer and program it separately from your remote. It has its own firmware. It's easy to do though. I haven't encountered any problems yet setting one up. I'm a professional A/V designer and installer. This is the new way to go. I've installed many hardwired remote IR systems in the past by Xantech and Russound. Those systems cost upwards of $125 on there own. Why not pay a little more and get a great universal remote to boot (H890 for around $250). It comes with a power adapter and IR blasters that plug into this unit then stick on the components you want to control. You can use a flashlight to shine on the face of those source components to help you in locating the IR receiver windows on your cable box/receiver/DVD player etc. (look for a round hole or LED shaped device) Anyways, this is a great product in my opinion. Update, I will have to say this. I wish they made the transformer have a connector at the Extender instead of hardwiring it in. I do not like having to reach thru many wires in different A/V racks to pull out the transformer and then plug it back in every time the remote gets updated. It would be far easier to unplug the ir emitters and a power jack all at the same location! Date: 2007-01-20 Better Than Expected The extender easily linked up with the Harmony 890 remote. I have 4 pieces of equipment behind oak doors. I put the leads in each cabinet, it was not even necessary to attach them to the components, and the signal is great. The 890 remote comes with one extender which is good for 8 components, so you don't need to order a separate extender. I didn't realize it was included, but Amazon accepted my return without a problem. Date: 2007-01-15 Was not needed Based on my research for the Logitech Harmony 890 remote, I thought I needed the extender. That is not the case. The extender comes with the remote. The return process was a nightmare, because of Amazon's third party retailers. Beware when purchasing throught the third party retailers, the rules of return and customer satisfaction change! EVENTUALLY, Amazon resolved all issues, but it didn't happen in their normally easy manner. Date: 2007-01-09 890 remote This remote is absolutely the best value after you get it set up to your system components. It will take some work and maybe a call to tech support, but you will be happy with the end result. It took me some time(4hours) and a call to their very good tech support to finally get the last glitch out of the remote. The RF works great so I can keep the doors closed to my cabinet and still have full function control of six different components.
