Yes, but the 525 was the budget model - I got mine from Amazon for �50
and they're very good value for money in my opinion. If mine died today
I'd replace it as soon as I could.

have you called Logitech? They have excellent support for the Harmony
range on a freephone number AFAIK. I rang them once and got put
through to a human who not only sorted my problem, he added it to the
device in question's bit of their master database so everyone else in
future would benefit...

There's probably a workaround - e.g. adding a manual "start frontrow"
to the end of the activity. I had a funny with my Panasonic plasma
where it didn't want to select the component in, for some reason. I
worked around by adding the "next input" button from the TV remote,
and adding an action at the end of the activity to select HDMI1 (which
did work) plus two presses of the "next input" button to advance to
component. Works great.
