I think the Harmony 880 was the first Logitech created Harmony remote. I had a 659 prior to owning a 880. I was pleased with the 659 for the most part (the Harmony setup needs to be streamlined and the web interface is too slow), but decided to upgrade to the 880 due to the rechargable battery. I'm not extremely happy with the new 880. I've had to return two of them already, and the second return took a very long time. There is no question, that Logitech will have worse support than SD customers are probably used to. I'm not trying to bash Logitech here. I have a whole slew of Logitech products, including four different sets of computer speakers and numerous mice (in addition to the two Harmony remotes). In fact, I'm listening to one of my squeezeboxes right now on a set of Logitech speakers and using my Harmony to control it! They usually make pretty good stuff, but it can be frustrating. I won't touch their newer computer speakers, and getting all the mouse buttons to work in computer games usually requires manually editting the Windows registry. Logitech has a lot of neat products, but the quality has been a little suspect, especially lately. My advice, buy now! -- Relayer35 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Relayer35's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5255 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28952 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
