    Hi,
    Can anyone help me with the following, looking at the "logitech harmony elite" universal remote control.
    1. Does it work well/any issues with a UPC box?
    2. How do you type a channel number into it? Assuming its via the screen - is it fiddly?
    3. Does the screen display logos for the TV stations?

    Its a while since I had the UPC box, but if its the Horizon one it mostly worked, a couple of direct access commands that are apparently RF only didn't but generally could be worked around.

    Channel numbers are via the screen (you may have to swipe to 2nd or 3rd screen if you have favourites set up)

    Yes it will display logos for channels set as favourites in a Watch TV activity

    I gave up on it and sent it back for this very reason. It's a great piece of kit and Harmony support were more than helpful but those few missing Horizon buttons, drove me mad. Obviously not Harmony's fault and they provided a workaround by mapping alternative commands needed through the Horizon menu. I'd say most people could live with the annoyance but the OH got fed up with it and would resort to the Horizon remote, despite me trying to hide it.

    Which commands in particular didn't work well?
