The Harmony Universal 880 Remote

The Harmony 880 Universal Remote is the latest incarnation of this revolutionary remote, now owned by Logitech. This remote is easy to use and TRULY universal. Use the included USB cable to connect it to your computer. The web-based interface will take you step-by-step through the programming process. Simply enter the brands and model numbers for all the devices you want the remote to control and in minutes you have a fully programmed remote that really does control everything- TV, DVD, VCR, DVR, receiver, cable box, and whatever you can throw at it. For $250 (or less or other models), you can put your other remotes in a drawer and forget about them. REALLY! The 880 has a beautiful color screen and and different activity modes for watching TV, viewing a DVD, playing the radio, whatever. No more setting TV inputs and stereo receiver outputs every time you switch from watching TV to a DVD. Simply press a button on the remote and all devices are set to the desired settings at once. The remote runs on a rechargeable battery and comes with a charger base. This remote is the best I've ever seen and programming is easy. No more code entering. Who needs that! One remote to work everything; isn't that what we expected from those other "universal" remotes. Now "universal" really means UNIVERSAL! For the geeks, it's highly customizable too. I use it to set up my devices to connect my iPod dock to the receiver for playing tunes or watching video from the iPod.
