you are paying $700 just for the remote control and programming. I just bought a ligitech harmony 700 for $40 that could control all those things and programmed it myself in 5 minutes.
Looks like he quote a URC remote which has a full feature two way driver for Sonos. That's different than an $40 remote.

Yes it is. URC do a lot more than a basic Harmony remote but as you know the programmer has to know what they're doing.

I get that, but I wouldn't pay someone $200 to program the remote, I would do it myself so I also understood how to operate it.

If it's a Harmony. No offense but your chances of programming a URC remote without knowing what you're doing is slim to none. As a consumer you also don't have access to the programming software. Dealers only.

My first time programming a URC remote was a horrible experience and I thought I knew what I was doing. It isn't easy.....At all!

Didn't read the UFC part. I would just get a Harmony and not overspend on remotes and programming. Maybe that's not the best way, but I think the average person will get everything they need.

A Honda Civic can get you from point A to B but the people who do it in a Benz have a much better driving experience.

I drive a C350. Somehow I don't think a Harmony remote is akin to diving a Honda vs a Benz. Unless you really enjoy pushing buttons on 1 remote vs the other. ETA: I get for the true audiophile these things matter, as I mentioned earlier the average person who wants a nice sound system doesn't need a remote that requires only certain people to program.

If that is turnkey 100% ready to go when done, that is not a bad price.

It has nothing to do with being an audiophile. It's about pressing one button on a remote and it executes the exact same procedure every time. Without fail.

I got the Sonos Playbar and Sub about 2 months ago. 100% worth the $1400 price tag.
You, however, are getting screwed at that price.

I'll install your tv on stone for 300
Posted on 1/22/17 at 10:37 am to Dale Murphy
As a comparison, I got a 60" tv, two amps, sonos cube, a sub, harmony remote programming and installation for about $4700. I called one of the advertising guys and they quoted me twice that.
My guy doesn't drive a wrapped van or maintain a brick and mortar. Less overhead.

Have you ever mounted a tv on stone? It's a complete pain in the arse to do it correctly. We also don't know if he needs power or cables installed behind the tv. $600 is not outrageous at all for installing a tv on stone.
Yeah, my dad and I did it a few years ago for their TV at their house. We even ran wires for a new outlet to put behind the TV mount.

BTW you can pay me $1400 to come hang your tv, bring you a new harmony elite and program it for you, and hook your shite up to your wifi.

It's also a whole lot more complex and powerful than programming a Harmony.
I'm not saying a URC is needed for this application but they are a different level of control.
