The Harmony profile is just a list of IR codes that the remote knows 
your receiver can understand. That part of things is no different than 
what any cheapo All-for-One remote can do. The value of a Harmony remote 
is in the activities, IR macros, and management of power and input 
states of multiple devices, and that configuration is independent of 
anything that has to happen on the PC side of things.
