  June 19th, 2009 Comments(1)
  Recently discovered that popular series of Logitech's remote controls Harmony has IR codes to control Video Disk Recorder (VDR) box. To get them to your device just download new remote using Logitech software choosing type PVR, producer KLS and model VDR. Also you can use this config file for LIRCd. Have fun!

  Logitech diNovo and LinuxMCE
  February 10th, 2009 Comments(0)
  I already wrote about using compact keyboard with mouse pad Logitech diNovo with MythTV. Now it's time to use it to control your LinuxMCE core/hybrid or media director. Media buttons work out of the box. But to activate mouse pad just add following line to the /etc/modprobe.d/options:
  options usbhid quirks=0x046d:0xc71f:0x00080000
  After reboot enjoy that cool keyboard!
  Using Logitech diNovo Mini with MythTV

  Recently Logitech announced very useful gadget for all HTPC owner – wireless palm-sized keyboard diNovo Mini. So, it's time to start use it with your MythTV box. That wiki page describes how to configure diNovo Mini including media buttons and the mouse track-pad.
  It'd be also great if diNovo Mini will be supported by VDR as well.

  Logitech has announced Squeezebox Boom officially
  August 29th, 2008 Comments(0)
  Logitech has announced Squeezebox Boom – "all-in-one" version of its popular network audio player Squeezebox. It's equiped with an integrated amplifier and high-performance speakers. Basically, the Squeezebox Boom provides the same features as Squeezebox. But it doesn't need additional speakers. The Squeezebox Boom supports many on-line music services such Pandora®, Rhapsodyâ"¢, Sirius®, Last.fmâ"¢, Slackerâ"¢, MP3tunes, RadioTime, Radio IO and Live365. I liked Squeezebox. And I like its 'all-in-one' version too. Using a few boxes and LinuxMCE it's easy to build multi-room audio system.
  The new Squeezebox Boom will be available in September at $299.99.

  Logitech Harmony One Remote Control video revew
  March 03rd, 2008 Comments(2)
  Mavromatic made good video review of Logitech's Harmony One Remote Control. The remote looks nice. It includes a 2.5" color touchscreen LCD and can be easily connected to PC for update its database of IR codes. The database is very huge and includes all known brands. The preferences of remote can be stored online using Logitech web service. So, you won't loose them or will able to access them from any PC.
  Now fly in the ointment. The combination of hard keys and touchscreen doesn't look handy. It's impossible to perform all operations using only one hand. Because the price is not cheap the Harmony One Remote Control seems an appropriate solution only if consumer has a few A/V or other IR controlled devices which are not connected to any home automation system. Otherwise it might be more efficient to use something like Nokia Internet Tablet with integrated smarthome interface.
