Dear Randy,

First and foremost, thank you for such an amazing collection of wonderful icons! i'm a newbie to remotes though i've had a Universal for years (came with B&K). i just got an 880 but sold it to upgrade to the Harmony ONE. i understand from Logitech's FAQ that the pixel size for the harmony one channel icon size is 75W x 44H. however, from your excellent site, clicking on the harmony one picture brought me to a large collection of icons but they were all seemingly 150x88.

was it merely an incorrect link that brought me to an incorrect area of your site? what is the true correct size of channel icons for the Harmony One? is the FAQ of Logitech correct?

i've already downloaded many icons before i discovered that everything i've downloaded is 150x88 instead of the correct 75x44. :( Now, i'm really curious what is the proper size.

my new harmony one is arriving tomorrow.

additionally, being in the nyc area, i would like to ask where one might be able to find:

1. NY1 icon: NY1 is a timewarner channel with all local nyc news, handy sometimes to have.

2. "THIRTEEN" : our local nyc non-profit channel with shows like Charlie Rose. while the true name is WNET, i believe, it is more affectionately known and called locally as "THIRTEEN". i cannot find that icon either.

thank you so much in advance for such an incredibly great service you're providing to us hobbyists!

PS: as a general note, right after i placed my order for the Harmony One, i discovered, sadly, that one of my favorite functionalities is really no better, if not even worse, on the Harmony One compared with the Harmony 880. that is, the favorite channels. the 880 has TWO pages of 8 channels each page, so while you're on page 1, you have instant, SINGLE button access to 8 stations. the Harmony One has 3 pages of ONLY 6 channels each page!! while the total number of channels is 24, which is more than 16 (for the 880), obviously, it would require more than one click to get to the station of your choice!

i don't know about others, but it would seem to me that this "solution' of more channel pages is sort of like one step forward, one step back!! am i the only one who finds it annoying to only have 6 channels on one page? additionally, the absence of hard buttons for the channels is worrisome for me - i'm a big fan of tactile feedback, i.e. no "touchscreen only" remotes for me (or, for that matter, cell phones with only touch screen are also a no go for me). i suppose that the Harmony One might have tweaked the ergonomics just right so that this is not an issue, i.e. they got the correct sensitivities for the touch LCD, etc.

My Harmony One is arriving tomorrow, so i'll have actual touch and feel experience tomorrow.
