provides the advantage that
all of the system settings and
individualization is centrally
stored with Logitech and
that no special installation
tool needs to be installed on
the PC. Not only that, any

whereby all user gestures
can be freely assigned. The
remote control buttons can
also be individually positioned so that the ones you
use most often can all be
grouped together in a prominent position. You can individually adjust the position
and number of remote control buttons for each of the
controlled devices.
We also liked the Favorites
function that lets you display
up to 50 TV channels with
logo so that you can watch
your favorite channel with
just the push of one button.
