The Logitech Harmony 880 remote has possibly saved my marriage.  My husband is not as tech savvy as I, and after we purchased our new TV, home theater set up, and signed up for TiVo - the whole set up was beyond him.  I would get phone calls at work because he couldn't figure out which remote to use to play a tape for our preschooler ... you get the picture.  Then along came the Logitech Harmony 880 remote.  I gulped a bit at the price - but after searching online I managed to get it at a great deal - about half of retail.  And once I fully understood what it can do, I would have paid three times the price.  A very tech savvy friend helped my set it up - but I could have easily done it myself.  The software is very user friendly - it really leads you through all the steps, and I have successfully made some changes to the programming on my own.  My favorite feature is the Help button - if something isn't working right, it takes you step by step to figure out what component somehow is set incorrectly.  Since we got the Logitech Harmony 880, by husband has not once  had a problem with watching TV, a DVD, or a VHS tape!  It is also very versatile - able to handle multiple components with any kind of set up.  My friend has his set up to dim the lights when he starts watching a DVD - I'm not kidding!  And if you don't like the preprogrammed buttons - you can change them!  Well worth the investment to make your home theater user friendly and then you can store all those other remotes in the closet.
