Logitech Harmony Smart Wireless

[tvmaster2]

Is anyone using this with a SageTV install, for either their server or PC client?
Good price - wondered if there's a reason it's being deep-discounted (there usually is)

The keyboard looks nearly identical to the K400r I use with our HTPC and the hub is probably similar to the one used by their current gen remotes. As far as the keyboard goes, it was the best one available at the time I bought the K400r. The #1 most annoying thing about it, though is that the right shift key is half the size of all other full size boards and the up arrow is to the left of it. What this means is that you are constantly hitting the left edge of the shift button and then pressing the up arrow. This leads to you highlighting a full row of text and when you continue typing, the highlighted part disappears. This happens enough to really piss you off. Sadly, I haven't found a better keyboard for everyday use. This keyboard is used extensively for internet browsing and email and other than that one--fairly serious--issue, it works great for lengthy typing sessions.

Assuming the hub is the one with their current remotes, then it's quite a good hub. In most instances, you don't even need an IR emitter, since the hub bounces signals off objects to reach all your devices. This usually even works inside an entertainment center with shelves and doors. I set up one of their remotes at the in-laws and they love it. My Harmony 980 probably has more issues than theirs does.

As to why it's being discounted? My guess would be there's a new version on the horizon or it's is simply being discontinued.
