Visually based 900 on the Harmony One who can give a good score look and feel. If you can get used to the fact that this model can be powered exclusively by an online / Internet connection with data, one has befriended already at least 75% with a Harmony. For that is when other manufacturers models often different and it is important to take into account before making a purchase. Charging with which you want to dub new devices, actions etc. to the Harmony, each takes a few minutes, if still pictures (thumbnails), to come station logos, even sometimes it is agonizingly long time to turn comes in the queue and the download -Vorgang is beeendet. If it then after a test is not the same works (eg. As a unit will not correct a), you must re-transmit new data ..... But due to my experience is worth the total expense grds. in all harmoy models. Essentially, this by the optics (Quality) and the maximum number of controllable devices and actions differ. Who has a larger equipment fleet, should be equal to research from the model 785.
What are the main changes, the 900 gg. The Model 885/895? In addition to the revised optics z. B. with a central hub, a slightly different display with touch screen (!), There are the above all the intrinsic values. Needed for the 895 yet an extender for infrared / radio conversion, the max. Can provide 8 units (more units of course work as well but only infrared) has, one in 900 is now an infrared distribution with two infrared mini-transmitters, the anfunkt virtually all receivers in the field. The assignment of the mini-station is now on the Harmony itself, rather more awkward about the software (online update). Unfortunately, you can not so-called sequences, ie a sequence of several commands as a command in an activity (such as a DVD.), More programming; only semiskilled RAW commands (command sequence within a unit). This may in practice already a significant constraint to be (for me a point deduction).
The price / performance ratio is still to optimize, here quite worth the purchase of the 895 with an Extender and you can also spark ". Since you can comfortably operate in its home theater now, overall very scarce 4 points, I would wait until the price gives way, in the initial phase is intended still plenty of room.
Addendum 07:07:10: the price has now yielded noticeable, which is barely (new) available, so now 4 895 - 5 points - Best Buy!
Addendum 23:05:11: in conjunction with the Logitech Harmony Adapter for PS3 an ideal home theater remote control. Involved in an action (with TV / projector) makes movies with or without popcorn fun - you get used to very quickly to the "luxury".
