📱 Logitech Harmony 880: Feature-packed Universal Remote Control (Discontinued Edition) Review

I have had my 880 for many years. I hope to be able to use it for many more years. I was skeptical, I hated universal remotes and each one didn't offer full functionality which meant I was always digging the remote out of the drawer. what was the point A friend of mine, whose experience I trusted and who had similar doubts about universal remotes, told me, "Just buy it. go get one next month or if you don't like it i'll buy it off you".

I have had 3 of these in the last 8 years and love them but unfortunately they are no longer made. You can still buy "new ones" but I'm unlucky with it sometimes because in the electronic age some keys "double tap". If you're unfamiliar with Logitech remotes, they're great. There is a program that you download onto your computer, then enter the items you have by manufacturer and model number. It takes a little while, but it's worth it.

Any button can control any device you want. CONS: * Programming requires internet

INTRODUCTION Needs a universal remote control for my TV, digital cable box, BluRay player, Wii, and DVD/CD-G Karaoke player. I chose this model because it can be pre-programmed keys (from the internet) onto the remote control. I was looking for a remote that had codes that I could just download instead of tediously pressing buttons to have the remote "learn" different functions. There were many devices in the Logitech Harmony line, and all the devices I had connected were in their database. to…
