In my post of Feb 5, 2007, 15:01:36 GMT, I expressed my opinion about
Harmony remotes. It's not at all a positive opinion, I might add.
Others strongly disagree with me, however.

I didn't think Harmonys had scheduling ability, but in his answer to
that post of mine, Hertz_donut says that some do. I have not looked
into that.
