Bought Harmony 880 at Dell for $79 after $50 rebate. I got my rebate already, so I am with the price for that remote.

My wife hate the remote b/c it's too complicate to her. My other family members and friends dont know how to use that remote.

The motion sensor is not working anymore, so now I have to press Glow button everytime to light up the LCD. For the first month, when I put the remote back to the cradle, it makes contact right away. Now, I have to jiggle several times to make contacts. May need to call customer service.

One thing that I dont like when use this remote is when you turn on the TV with the TV remote or from the power button of the TV. Then, you use 880 and press Watch DVD. Of course, it will turn on DVD player and reciever but then it turn off the TV. B/c it's RPTV, you have to wait for awhile for it cycle down. Then go through Help function on the remote to turn the TV back on....and wait for it to cycle back up.
