Logitech Harmony 880 LCD Remote Control Reviews

Here's another good remote from Logitech. All of their remotes are computer compatible and are very easy to set up. Logitech has a good reputation for a solid product and it shows in this remote. I purchased the Logitech Harmony 880 LCD Remote Control to help my family with "control clutter", in particular all of the numerous remotes for the electronic stuff we have. There's a remote for the tv, dvd, vcr,  (yes, we still have one of those), tuner, cd player and satellite controller.

The set up is simple and intuitive. It is truly seamless if you have the serial numbers for each of your products,...

Ok, we bought the HDTV, Blue Ray, DVR, and game system.  We have the remotes for the television, cable/dvr, blue ray, dvd player.  I tried going with the "universal" remote that came with the cable box, but, was constantly having to teach the wife & daughter how to use this remote.  I had no problems using it, however, I do admit it was not the easiest remote to use.  So, I started searching for a better universal remote and discovered remote utopia in the Logitech Harmony 880.  The remote seemed a little pricey, but, if you do your shopping you can find a pretty good deal on this remote.

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...

I have to say I have never been happier with a universal Remote.  It does everything it says it will.  And the ease of Setup was unbelievable.  I thought it was a not going to be that easy, but I was surprised.  I had become so frustrated with the all the remotes for all the components that watching TV had become a chore.  Friends staying at my house couldn't figure the system out to watch tv.  Now push one button, everything works.  Want to do something else... push one button, everything works.  I have been recommending it to friends, family and even strangers at the store.  It's definitely...

This is my first universal remote so I don't have another remote to compare it to.

That said, I _love_ the Harmony 880!  I'm using it to control my TV, whole house audio system and Popcorn Hour A-110.

Going from 3 remotes down to 1 is a huge improvement and the setup was relatively straight forward.

My only real complaint is that the remote seems way too light.  I realize it's all plastic and the guts are probably pretty small but I do like to have a little heft to items like these.

Even so, I'm really digging this remote, would buy it again and would recommend it to other people.
