Harmony remotes rock

Strengths: Charging base and color screen

Weakness: Flimsy charging base and no extra battery.

I got this model this past Christmas to replace by previous Harmony remote and I love it. All I had to do was plug the new remote into my laptop PC, login to Harmony, and programing the remote was done in a few minutes. All of my old settings transferred over without a hitch. I love being able to control my 6 audio/video devices with just one remote. The only down side of this product is that it...

Family can finally watch my TV

Strengths: Macros. Super easy guided setup.

Weakness: None

This remote is phenomenal! First off, the setup program is brilliant. It first asks what components you have (TV, receiver, DVD, etc.) and then asks how you use them (TV or receiver for volume? TV or satellite box to change channels?). Then, it downloads all the codes for those products from the online database and creates macros. You literally just press the button that says "Watch TV" or "Watch...

Nice fancy remote with good functionality - nice...

Strengths: Fancy look, Computer programmable, Easy programming

Weakness: Programming could have been easier, Sometimes hickups, No touch screen

OK - one of the reason I bought harmony 880 remote was because it looks cool! Second reason was I was tired of using walmart/target type 10-20 bucks remotes which doesn't do anything. And lastly, I got great deal on Dell's site for this remote (under 80 bucks). I have Panny plasma, Sanyo A/V Receiver, cable box, Coby DVD player, Sony CD player - this remote handles everything most of the times...

No more remote control piles!

Strengths: Easy to program via web, extensive library of audio/visual devices

Weakness: Some buttons are small, advanced remote functions may be difficult for novice users to get to, charger contacts are poor quality

This remote gets five stars for value and four stars for competence. Although it retails for $150-$200 in the stores, a comparable device from one of the high-end systems (Philips Pronto, CTX, etc.) integrators would cost at least $500 or more. However, the remote leaves you exposed in a few areas. Ergonomics is good, but not excellent, as the Activity buttons (Watch TV, etc.) can be a bit too...

Gone from 6 remotes to ONE

Strengths: Versatility, Strength of Infrared Beam, Customizing Features, Lithium Battery

Weakness: Battery is ok. Would like to see a stronger Lithium battery.

This is a great item in its price range ($150 to $200) Currently with a $50 rebate! (as of April 2006) I no longer need to use ANY of my other remotes. It has replaced remotes for: Digital Cable Box VCR HDTV DVR Digital Receiver This remote has replaced all of my remotes. I no longer need any of them to use the features of the above listed items. The remote is fully customizable. It will take...

Harmony 880 Remote

Great remote with awesome features and good ergonomics. This is one of the best remotes from Logitech in the harmony line with all the bells and whistles like Color Screen, and a new button layout. The new button layout takes some time to get used to. The remote features rechargeable internal battery with a charging station, and can be programmed easily on the computer for virtually any device....

Harmony 880

Strengths: Easy to use web interface

Weakness: You can't program a single task.

[4/2/2006 UPDATE] Well I contacted support about the docking issue and they knew about this issue and sent me a new dock which I recieved within 3 days. Wonder support and quick service is what I like. I haven't looked into issue 2 or 3 but those don't seem to be big annoyances anymore. [8/27/2005] I have now been using this remote for about 30 days. I am still happy with this remote as is my...

Logitech H880

Strengths: Completely configurable via USB & web site; Lit buttons and configurable view screen;

Weakness: Battery life & cradle; Not for noobs; Requires fine tuning but well worth it

SETUP ISSUES: If you don't like configuring gadgets then this isn't the remote for you but once you've spent some time with the configuration it is golden. You'll need to have your browser (WinXP-SP2) up to date with bug fixes or you'll have no luck setting the 880. Logitech's web site wouldn't allow me to use Firefox. The database of hardware is vast but there are many duplicates. If you pick a...

880 beats the old models, but still not perfection

Strengths: Color screen, auto backlight dimming feature (after 10 seconds), rechargeable battery with GREAT life, 8 available action buttons per screen within each activity (vs. 6 or 4 on other models)

Weakness: Buttons have little tactile response, and are crammed next to each other. I am constantly looking down to find the buttons, VERY difficult to memorize remote, unlike the older Harmony 688 and 659.

I have the Harmony 688, so I can make a good comparison. PROS: Turning on and off everything at once, controlling volume and channels from one remote is HUGE! Big points for doing what remotes should have done long ago. I don't know why other reviews are saying the battery life is bad. I use the remote for 1 Hour a day, and only have to recharge it once every 4 weeks! Unlike other reviewers, I...

Harmony 880 Advanced Universal Remote

Strengths: Color screen, recharging stand

Weakness: Buttons don't feel great

A nice remote, its an improvment over the prior models, I have had the 688 for about two years and I like this one a lot better. All my components were already in their online database, and I only had to make 1-2 tiny adjustments after running the online wizard before it controlled everything perfectly. I reccomend it if you need the latest greatest, but other wise one of the other harmony's will...

Logitech Harmony 880

Identical in purpose to the other remotes in the Harmony Line, the Logitech Harmony 880 offers an excellent balance of features which places it squarely in the upper middle of the Harmony line. It allows you to control more devices than the 6xx and 5xx models but is strictly IR and therefore line of sight as opposed to the RF capabilities of the Harmony 890 and Harmony 1000. In terms of ease of...

Harmoney 880 Advanced Universal Remote Review

Logitech has designed the remote to be used in conjunction with HDTV and PVR devices, and makes the process of doing things like changing the aspect ratio of your HDTV from 16x9 when on a DVD source, to 4x3 Expanded when on a TiVo. Most importantly, they tout the remote as being easy to set up and easy to use. We’ll just see about that.
