This remote has defects
by rodregan on Sep 17th, 2009 at 9:39 AM:
Mine stopped recharging after a month. I researched the problem, and learned there at least two well-known defects: 1) defective bases, which stop charging the phone; and, 2)battery loses contact with phone, requiring paper to be wedged in.
I have the charging problem.
Love it...I have 3 now.

This remote is great. My kids got so used to it in the living room with all of our equipment that I got one for them and the master bedroom. It makes life so much easier. Recommend it for anyone!
I love the Harmony 880

I don't have much time so I'll be brief. I'm one of these guys that loves to buy all kinds of stuff that make my life easier and make me happier. One of the toys I'm talking about is a universal remote. I've had one for years, but it recently broke, so I bought a Harmony 880 to replace it.
The difference between the old and the new is huge. If you have one of the old ones that you have to program on the remote itself, break it and buy a Harmony. Just the fact that the Harmony connects to a computer is worth it. With the 880 I programmed my remote with the help of an easy to use wizard. It asked me for all the devices and model numbers I have. It then asked what devices I needed on or off for the different activities I'll be doing. Then it asked me to try it out. It worked flawlessly after the first try.
Later, when I got more comfortable with the remote, and knew what changes I wanted to make to the button placement, I reprogrammed the buttons. So for example, if I wanted the pause button to be in the color window in position 7, I just asked the software to put it there. If I wanted the remote to turn on my light (light must have the ability to receive IR signal) I just taught it how to do that in a few seconds. I love this thing. It is very easy to use, looks good, and feels comfortable to the touch too.
Prior to buying a remote I spent a day and a half doing research online. I read reviews, looked for specials, the works. I'm about to tell you something no one mentioned on any of the reviews that I saw. I only found this out after I already bought the remote and picked it up for the first time. The remote is in sleep mode when just lying there, but wakes up, or turn on, when you pick it up! It's the little things! I am so impressed with this device that I will look to Logitech the next time I need something else. If they have it I'll probably buy it from them. Hope this is helpful.
Excellent

I have had virtually 0 problems with this remote basiclly 5-7 minutes to setup, 3 minutes to explore everything, and a week to get good at.
