Harmony Remote Control


I was all set to pick up a Harmony 880 remote to simplify my HT system, but read a whole lot of negative reviews. Comments like cheap construction, faulty connection to the docking station and tiny buttons scared me away. For those of you who have this or another HT remote, can you share your experiences? Are these complaints nit picking or for real? Is there a remote out there that is better?

I have a Harmony 880 which I use for the audio system and a Harmony 1000 for the home theater. I am mostly satisfied; I do prefer real buttons to the touchscreen but I can use the touchscreen without turning up the lights and finding my glasses! I can't get either to properly control my Sony SCD-777ES, which is weird because the 880 used to control it just fine. I would recommend buying a Harmony if you don't have a Macintosh computer; if you can't get it working fine within two hours go get your money back. Otherwise I think you will love it.
