 Excellent Timesaver! October 4, 2008
I purchased this Harmony 880 remote after talking with many of my technophile family members and friends. I wanted something that would work with all my a/v equipment and still be user friendly and easy to use. This remote is AWESOME! This remote takes just a few moments to program online (you have to enter all your equipment make/model numbers), then just follow the prompts, upload the data to the remote and viola! I also purchased the NYKO BluWave remote so I could use my Harmony 880 with my Sony PlayStation 3. Works like a charm.
Special thanks to other reviewers for all the helpful hints on how to set things up, troubleshoot some issues and how to fix them. I encourage everyone to read as many of the reviews as possible, because they include quite a lot of helpful information and fixes.
Bottom line: This Harmony 880 Universal Remote really is Universal. I now have ONE remote which operates EVERYTHING instead of SIX! Color me HAPPY!
 Extremely Delicate September 29, 2008

I dropped this remote off my lap, caught it between my calfs, then it fell the rest of the way to the floor. It cracked - totally dead.
I sent an email to Logitech Harmony asking for their advice, since the repair on electronics is often more than the cost of a new one. After many emails asking for more and more numbers Logitech Harmony said to send it to them and they will let me know how much a repair will cost, but not to send it UPS. So the cheapest I could find to get it from California to Ontario was $25. Considering that all I would get for my $25 would be an estimate, I am tossing it in the garbage instead.
I won't miss it. Never used it much. The human interface was bad -- small buttons, hard to read, needed multiple clicks even to do what you programmed. I guess it appeals to people who are used to the clunky world of the PC. As a Mac user I expect a TV remote that is also user friendly. Hope I can find one.
Remote September 29, 2008
This is the best possible remote control, it works for almost everything I own. The only thing this won't control is my ceiling fan. It is great for my TV, Surround sound system and my DVR. You can program every button from your remotes onto this device. You can even manually set up other buttons from other devices. I can select DVR and then have both the DVR power button and the TV power button on the same screen. It's so easy to use my wife can even use it. A+
Changed my life... September 29, 2008
I will never go back to a normal remote again. We had four remotes and an infant at home. Needless to say it was hard to keep track of them all. Not only is this remote ridiculously easy to configure, I did not lose any functionality that the other remotes provided. The play button sticks sometimes, but I believe it has more to do with my child eating peanut butter sandwiches and handling the remote, rather then the poor quality of the remote. Good remote though I really like it.
I replaced FIVE remotes with ONE Harmony 880 September 29, 2008
A heard about Logitech Harmony when a friend visited my home and saw 5 different remotes on my coffee table. It's amazing what I had to go through to juggle them all and get my HDTV, DVD player, DVR, tuner, and VCR to work, but I just accepted it...and incurred the frustration (and wrath) of my girlfriend and other guests when they would try to make everything work.
So I finally broke down, spent the money, and...it's magic. Just write down the model # of each component, enter it into the simple interface on your computer that's connected to the web (it worked PERFECT on my Mac, thank you very much!), upload the new info to the remote via a USB cable, and VOILA! Your remote is programmed to work with your unique set up. It's amazing how it makes the daily task of watching TV and/or DVD, listening to music, or radio SO simple. It "knows" what to turn on, what to turn off, and how to connect. I had to do a little bit of tweaking to the settings, and the software makes this process easy.
My only quibble would be with the physical design of the remote itself. The number buttons are too low on the controller, making it almost impossible to hold the remote and press them with one hand. The buttons also don't have a lot of 'feedback' to let you know, by touch, if you've pressed it or not. I would also flip the FWD/REV buttons with the REPLAY/SKIP to put them one row higher. I use the FWD/REV more often, and it would be much more convenient to have them next to the PLAY button. But this is minor compared to all of the hassle this ingenious remote has saved me. Truthfully, I wish I would have bought it sooner!
