i bought the 880 when it first came out. it was pretty bad at the time. had numerous issues with it. hopefully those thing things have been fixed. id sure like to give it another try.
I jumped on this one, even though I'm horrible at actually mailing in the rebates. I've been looking for a good remote so I eliminate all those damned remotes sitting around the house. Anyone know if you can program multiple TV's with it?

Yep on programming multiple TVs; MOF, I have the remote programmed to control my HT setups in the family room and in the bedroom. From an ergonomic standpoint, there are better remotes than the 880--the Home Theater Master MX-500 (which I also have) is one of them (better button spacing and feel)...but programming-wise, the Harmony is practically tops.
The 880 is excellent. I wish it was a bit heftier - it's a little bit "light" feeling to me. But it is exceptionally easy to use, especially if you need to show your wife or girlfirend how to use it!
Also, if you are having troubles charging the 880, make sure that the battery is making good contact. I needed to wedge some paper inside the battery compartment to push the battery up to the contacts.
I just ordered one for my mom, came out to $155.50 shipped 2-day (was a dollar more for 2-day than ground via UPS). It won't come up on the initial link, so do a search for "Harmony 880". You will see two links for the 880, one with a price and one that says 'click for price'. Select the 'click for price' link because it's a dollar or two cheaper. Thanks again OP!
