Harmony 1100 remote review: a bigger screen isn't always better {Engadget}
Feb 21st 2009 1:52PM
It seems that most people commenting, including the reviewer, are benchmarking the Hamony 1100 against other IR remotes. I would be willing to be that most purchasers of the Harmony 1000 and 1100 use it for the RF functionality.
The fact remains that the Harmony 890 and 1000/1100 are the only "reasonably priced" remotes that have RF functionality and can be programmed using a GUI rather than macros.
My wife and I agreed that the ergonomics of the 1000 were much better than the 890 which is why we purchased it and enjoy it today. I also found the Logitech PC GUI to be very intuitive to setup.

LOL. I saw the picture of NC State and thought ESPN was going to be broadcasting high school games in HD.

There is no CableCARD 2.0 {Engadget HD}

Eric,
You are correct that instead of saying the Motorola and Scientific Atlanta boxes have 2-way communication because they are OCAP compliant I should have said that they have cable company middleware, but I stand by the fact that the only way a 3rd party box like TiVO can have 2-way communication is if it is OCAP compliant.
I believe that Ben just created a new post that confirms my statements.

The BDP-1200 already outputs native 1080p/24 straight from the discs.
There is no CableCARD 2.0 {Engadget HD}
Jun 15th 2007 2:01PM The reason that bi-directional communication works on the Motorola and Scientific Atlanta boxes is because they are OCAP compliant.
In order to be OCAP compliant, TiVo would have to cede control of their user interface over to the cable companies and they justifiably aren't interested in doing so.

I don't have cable card now, but would love to stick it to Time Warner. They really don't like CableCards and are trying to break the technology by implementing switched digital video.
