    This remote is bada$$!!!
    If you have games systems and a AV receiver and a DVR cable box = MUST BUY!
    No more going up to my stupid TV and AV receiver and hitting the correct input buttons.
    I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

    How is the battery life on these things? It seems like that screen would drain them pretty fast.

    The battery life is pretty amazing actually. It lasts me like a week at a time and charges in no time at all.

    Anyone know of one with Bluetooth so I can control my PS3 also.

    Pretty nice remote. I typically keep mine on the base when not in use, so it's always fully charged. My only complaint is the battery compartment door doesn't hold the battery securely against the contacts and it would sometimes reset. I simply folded a small piece of paper and placed it between the battery and the cover, which then keeps constant pressure on the battery.

    Best remoted on the face of gods green earth.

    No it will not control your PS3. You have to get some sort of adaptor to transform RF to BT and then it will work.

    The battery life is about 10-12hrs of constant use...considering you click a button and then do nothing on it for hrs on end the battery life is like a week.

    The only bluetooth remote for the PS3 is the one made by Sony. However, there are a few companies who make devices that will receive IR commands from a remote like this, and translate them over USB or Bluetooth to control the PS3. I would recommend you look through this thread if you are interested.

    I can't keep all of the Harmony numbers straight. 550? 560? 7xx? 880? What is the big difference between the numbers?
    #9   schmoe90 - Posted 7:17 am PST 12/18/08 (671 Posts)
    Keeping the numbers in order is easy - this (880) is the one you want Surprised) I love mine, and I'm thinking about getting one for the 2nd TV setup at this price.

    If you have a complex AV setup, get one.
    If you have a non-technical gf, get one.
    If you've lost one of your old remotes, get one.

    #6 this doesn't have RF, only IR. So you would be talking IR to bluetooth. This is a great remote I have one. Only complaints are no RF, and button layout could be better for DVR use. There are other models with RF but the price doubles with seems like gouging since you can get a Dish Network IR/RF remote for $25ish NIB on Ebay.

    I got one of these for my folks for Christmas. Should cut down on the "how do we watch a DVD?" calls.

    Last I checked the 880's had major recharging station issues.
    #13   sa60taj - Posted 8:12 am PST 12/18/08 (79 Posts)
    The charging problem is because the remote stops making a bad connection with the pins on the base, I just sanded the excess plastic around the connections on the remote and never had charging problems since(almost 2 years).

    I don't know if the problem is fixed on newer models but even if it isn't fixed this is still the best remote.

    best remote ever...

    I've got a 720 and that one pwns the shit out of this one! suck on that everybody who's saying "best remote ever"!
    #16   kels83 - Posted 8:44 am PST 12/18/08 (391 Posts)
    #15, I've got a finger that powns your 720 remote. It is compatable with all future standards (digital, analog, PS3, RF). It is also multi-function as i can use it to go to the bathroom and be the master of my domain. It is also portable and configured in a redundant array of 10 independent digits (RAID 10) in case one fails to function. You can suck on that... literally.

    nice remote but horrible button placement.
    #18   Riocopa - Posted 11:12 am PST 12/18/08 (498 Posts)
    I have the 550 and it takes some work to setup...Is this one easier?
    #19   david714 - Posted 11:39 am PST 12/18/08 (443 Posts)
    Isn't this the model with the supper skinny volume buttons near the side of the display? I think I like the button layout of the Harmony One better...

    I never thought a remote could be eye candy, but this remote is very well styled.
