Guests at my house are so impressed with how simple it is to operate everything, I think I'll give a couple away as gifts.All in all, a great product. Once I got home I tested everything, made a couple adjustments to my liking, and done. So much that I even set up the remote at my office, away from all the devices.
If you can setup any of your basic equipment than the Harmony should be a piece of cake. The Harmony learned any special buttons with ease. Setup was painless and easy to customize.
Online setup is fairly straightforward. I'll be buying more Logitech products in the future just because of this remote. I like that each individual event can be customized for entry and exit.I am currently controlling a LG LCD, Cable DVR, Dolby 5.1 tuner, DVD player, VCR, XBOX360, Mac mini, and a PS3 (sort of, it runs off BT.).
Most impressive is that it also replaces the Apple remote for Front Row or Boxee (awesome, btw).I also was concerned about using any previously reprogrammed buttons, such as the 30 second skip on me Comcast DVR.
Setup was easy, and the activity system makes things easy for my lovely lady (why should she have to know what input the TV should be set to).Now that I can watch Netflix movies on my Xbox, I can use the remote to turn on my Xbox, navigate to the Netflix blade, and start watching.awesome.I did not have the charger cradle problems described in other reviews.there seems to be a magnet in the cradle now that keeps the remote on the charging contacts.Oh, and the remote software works on Mac 10.5. I got my Harmony 880 setup last night, controlling my Samsung LCD, Motorola DVR, Xbox 360, Onkyo AV Receiver, and Macbook Pro.
Easy to program, easy to use. My wife for years could not figure out how to use the many electronic gadgets we have but the Logitech Harmony remote now has her very happy. Fantastic product. I have purchased several universal remotes over the years with little satisfaction. The Logitech Harmony 880 is the easiest to program and the easiest to use.
Before you purchase check the internet sites and you will see a lot of complaints regarding this problem. This is my second unit. It like the functionality but there are serious issues with the base unit not charging the battery after the unit has been in use for a while.
It is also laid out very nicely. This remote is durable and very easily programmable. This remote does exactly what it's supposed to do and is a huge improvement over the 550 series which I previously had. The rechargeable battery makes the price difference worthwhile.
