Very nice, functional:
This remote was purchased mostly out of curiosity. It has turned out to be a favorite. Setup was easy - run the software and follow the steps. There are a few settings I would change, but it works just fine after the first setup. The main thing I like is the strength of the beam. Our Comcast remote has to be aimed very carefully, which is awkward because the cable box is low, behind some furniture. The Harmony only has to be pointed in the general direction, not even with line-of-sight to the cable... more info
Great remote - convinced me to buy 2 more Harmonys:
I have three different Harmony remotes -- I'm a big fan.

after 2 years going downhill:
Forget the all in one remotes you have seen before. This one is the real deal. The 659 is on the low end of the Harmony line but it uses the same software to set it up, just less buttons on the remote itself. This means a bit more menu hunting on the LCD if you have a complex home theater. I must say I have loved this remote, up until a couple of months ago the only down side I could find was how quick it would go through batteries (4 AAA) But you could probably extend that if you were willing to turn off... more info
Good Remote, Great Price.:
The only difference between this and the 670 are the button placement. Big deal! For almost a $100 difference I can deal with the DVD control buttons at the bottom.
