[Unsure whether to buy a Flirc? (PLEASE CONTRIBUTE)]

Have had my flirc for a couple of months now and here's my thoughts so far.

 

Remote:

Harmony One with Samsung LN46C650L1F tv device profile.

 

Pros:

+ Cli interface.

+ Detected as hid usb keyboard.

+ Programmable on a pc and transferable to another pc.

+ Config stored on the flirc.

+ Good reception.

+ Good support from Jason.

 

Cons:

- Device is quite buggy. Mine always corrupts config if I edit button settings, meaning I have to completely reprogram all buttons.

- Have never successfully restored a backup config that works.

- No way of knowing the programmed state of the device.

- Logitech Harmony remote profile not easily identifiable.

- Definitely not for newbs yet.

 

Overall:

I have mine setup as I want but I'm reluctant to customise it further due to the amount of work needed to reprogram all buttons.
