Logitech Harmony website - Test drive feature

Hi, am I the only one finding this feature incredibly difficult to use? It was a real trial getting to it at all, you have to pretend you're connecting the device, and only then it offers you to do the test drive, if you haven't yet purchased the device.

I then managed to choose a couple of devices, and moved on, but now I'd like to see if it will support a couple of other devices I have, but for the life of me, I can't see how to go back to that step (of choosing different devices you want to control). It keeps insisting I "update" and "register", and no matter what I do, it won't move past that point, or go back.

Yep, same here. However, I'm told you can change the stuff after the Step 5 bit. Without asking I would have given up and not got the 525. Not very intuitive is it. The test drive needs a lot more work IMO. It kind of put me off.

I have ended up with the wrong CD player and stuff I haven't been able to put in....

I just started again with a different log-in. You can use as many as you like.

Yes, I know you can start again with a different log-in, but I wanted to avoid doing that, find it hard to believe you can't start afresh with your first (and only) log-in...

Anyway, I've given up on that now, I'm awaiting delivery of my 688 any day now, and then I'll give it a go again, once i actually have my remote.

Tried to use the test drive page - it was rubbish.
