My 880 solved these problems and was the only remote The Wife didn't despise. ' How do I turn this thing on? YOU set it up! It says 'PC Load Letter'?' Whatever hell you've got yourself into in the setting up of your TV and 'Media Area,' you need to dig yourself out with a decent remote. Universal Remotes are all about the WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor) or SAF (Spouse Acceptance Factor). 'So, the TV goes on Input 3 but the Receiver is on Input 7? But what controls the volume? Why is the TV muted?'
Sometimes it just doesn't touch the contacts in its cradle right, and I'll wake up the next day with a dead battery and a confused wife. However, the one Achille's Heel of the 880 was it's battery life (it gets weird memory) and the battery contacts. 'Why is the TV full? WHO is watching America's Next Top Model?'
It's a great balance of functionality and a good price (as low as US$129). To this day, I still recommend it all the time. A little over three years ago I finally solved my Universal Remote control problems with a Logitech Harmony 880.
