Clutter in the drawer, Harmony on the coffee tableDecember 5, 2008 I have been using the Harmony 880 for two years with great results! I just bought one for my father-in-law as a Christmas gift because he was amazed by how nice it was to use mine on a recent visit.
If you buy one the first piece of advise I can give is to open the battery cover and make sure the rechargeable battery is properly seated. There is a tiny bit of play in the battery and the Harmony will not charge properly if the battery is not making proper contact. The easy cure for this is to put a small piece of paper at the bottom of the battery which will force it up to the contacts. Once this is done you are ready charge it, program it and then real fun begins (using it).
The interface for programing is very straightforward and won't take too much time for even a novice computer user to catch on. For novice computer users, don't unplug the USB cable until you are sure the remote has fully programed and rebooted then make sure and test the functions when it ask you to. If something doesn't seem to turn on properly you can adjust the timing on the remote or I have found it may be easier to change the way the sequence occurs. For example if you want to program your remote to "Watch a DVD" and it says that it is going to: 1. Turn on DVD player 2. Turn on receiver 3. Turn on TV 4. Change TV to Input 2 . Then you go test your system and the DVD player doesn't seem to turn on. I suggest just changing the sequence so that it becomes: 1. Turn on receiver 2. Turn on DVD player ... and so on from there. Many times that will solve the problem.
Don't be afraid to rearrange what buttons you have in the LCD, move your most used items to the front. Example would be, I use a DirecTV DVR and I have put the "Red" delete button on my main selection screen so I can use it to quickly delete recorded shows I no longer want.
You will really enjoy this remote and if you do have problems there are a few forums you can find on the web to help or contact Logitech and they should get you up to speed.
Almost perfect, but couldn't give 4.7 starsDecember 3, 2008 Setup was painless and easy to customize. If you can setup any of your basic equipment than the Harmony should be a piece of cake. 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. The Harmony learned any special buttons with ease. Online setup is fairly straightforward. So much that I even set up the remote at my office, away from all the devices. Once I got home I tested everything, made a couple adjustments to my liking, and done! 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. I'll be buying more Logitech products in the future just because of this remote.
AwesomeDecember 3, 2008 I got my Harmony 880 setup last night, controlling my Samsung LCD, Motorola DVR, Xbox 360, Onkyo AV Receiver, and Macbook Pro. 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!
Logitech Harmony 880 Universal RemoteDecember 2, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
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. 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. Easy to program, easy to use. Fantastic product.
My second unitDecember 1, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
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. Before you purchase check the internet sites and you will see a lot of complaints regarding this problem.
