Not sure if this is a good deal or not. Logitec harmony ultimate one.
I was after a universal remote and was considering this.
Any opinions

How am I telling porkies. I took a photo of it on the shelf. What do you want me to do a live video feed of me walking in to the shop to show you. All I can say is there was one box on the shelf with that price tag underneath as per the photo. I didn't buy it just noticed it there and asked on here if its any good?

Ah is that what you're calling an "insider" these days? lol. Mustn't be down with the kids. In that case I did just take my insider out very briefly when I went to the toilet :wink:
When all said and done though the Op was just trying to both help someone out and potentially get some advice on whether or not the remote was a decent deal. I don't personally think they were lying and as they're new to posting I'm happy to give them both the benefit of the doubt and a little support - as is the nature of this site.

Can't see the pic, too small, but if it's the ultimate, and not a rebox or similar, that's a bargain.

If as it says it is the Ultimate One, then it is a good universal IR remote. The One doesn't come with the hub like the Ultimate does (so you wouldn't be able to use it for anything that isn't plain old IR) which for a lot of people won't be an issue.
It is not a super cheap price but it is a good price.

Sorry the picture ain't great. It is just the ultimate so as you said would not have the hub. I was consider the 650 and then saw this. Now I'm not sure. As see mixed reviews..

If you have an IR enabled smartphone just download 'Peel'. :smile:

These remotes are brilliant, take a bit of setting up online finding your devices, but great once done. Mine when selecting TV turns on the TV the sky box and puts the amp on the right channel, then if you choose DVD it turns off sky the DVD player on changes the input on the amp and the TV. My advice is buy one.

Really? I was wondering what besides the 'all remotes in one remote' advantage that it has, is the point of paying for, let's face it.. ANOTHER REMOTE! :smiley: but that sounds pretty cool :/ tell me more..

Not a patch on a Harmony remote, for one a touch screen remote isn't as tactile as a proper remote, nothing worse than having to unlock a phone and look at the screen just to turn the volume up or down

'Nothing worse' than having to look down at your own hand... How frequently are you changing volume? (1st world problems ay). Peel have also released a notification bar update so you don't need to unlock your screen :wink:
