I would like to have some favourite Foxtel channels defined for my Harmony Elite. www.iconharmony.com You'll find all the icons you want there, save them to your pc, then put em on your remote.

Most people I read (including myself) found it awkward to use the often used hard PLAY etc. buttons at the top of the One. In general I rarely use the touch screen - its just really handy for storing sequences and those occasional unusual buttons if required, so I don't mind going two handed (sorry) for that. I did find it strange the Elite lacks backlit buttons and haptic (vibration) feedback that come standard with the One Regards Peter Gillespie Yeah it seems I'm in the minority as I rarely use the hard PLAY, STOP, REW, FF buttons etc. I use the hard OK and arrow buttons and the touch screen a lot.

Oh you need to do this online, using the Harmony software. Then you sync each device & the logos should then appear. ------ & with regard to the remote button layout, the good thing about being able to use your mobile device as a remote, is you can move any button you want to wherever you want. & it's backlit of course. Honestly, this is the best thing I've purchased in a long time. Edited October 10, 2016 by Ralfi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the HD channels weren't on there last time I checked. Hence why I suggested to just use Google for eg. "Nat Geo HD logo". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're very similar, but I do prefer the play, ff, rew etc buttons being positioned lower, so my little lady thumb can reach them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go into the myharmony software, then favourites, then edit service provider, and then select the activity you want to use the favourites for. Oh and I was wrong when I said the favourites belong to one device, they actually are assigned to an activity and can only be assigned to one activity, but in the end it's the same result and is a bit of a pain.

MrC Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Yes ... I have a FoxTel on Projector activity and a separate FoxTel on TV activity. So I need to choose which activity it is to be and not both ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am at a loss to understand the intensity of disapproval expressed here. I find the member's posts for the most part light-hearted and with an apparent genuine intent to supply information or seek clarification. I suggest people turn down their intensity a notch, and be more accommodating. On the question of using a separate dedicated remote to control a range of different devices in an elegant and efficient manner some people will strive for an ultimate solution. Others will be happy if most devices can be controlled easily with one remote. And others will simply use a separate remote for each device. I fall into the last camp. My leading signal source is my pc, which uses a wireless keyboard and mouse. Its output goes to an AVR (with its own remote) on to a TV (with its own remote). Occasionally I will use a Fetch box (with its own remote), or a Blu-ray player (with its own remote). My partner can cope with the switching involved. I must admit though that when family visit they find the set-up bewildering and need help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLXXX Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 1 hour ago, Malich said: My current one handles the smart TV, smart Blu-ray, Foxtel, & streaming box setup here better than anything else, albeit after spending a ridiculous amount of time and effort beating it into submission & usefulness. At least it could be beaten... That is partly behind my not even trying to use a universal remote control for my main AV setup, a fear that the time and effort that might be entailed to get everything to work, could outweigh the benefit. I personally don't find it too much of a chore to pick up a separate remote control, or to change the source selection on the AVR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad that helped.....admittedly, the only flaw is the setup process, hence my vague recollections of how I went about it. It's a complex device that rewards you with simple functionality once set up.
