      Logitech Harmony remotes rock. I have a 676 and love it. One remote controls all.

      It works with TIVO. As stated on the website:

      Designed specifically for Digital Video Recorder (DVR) users, the Harmony® 670 features convenient controls that make it easy to command TiVO®. and other popular DVRs. Essential buttons including "Record," "Play," "Pause," "Advance," "Rewind," "Skip Forward," "Skip Back," and a directional pad are centrally located, and convenient "Sound" and "Picture" buttons help you tame tough configurations such as switching aspect ratios or sound modes.

      What are the odds of getting a rebate approved from CompUSA? I heard it's fairly hard.

      excellent dvd players, both play divx and vcds with built in menus to select from different files on the disc.

      are these remotes pretty much the best, or best bang for your buck for a universal remote? i just ordered a new lcd hdtv and the remote that comes with it looks horrible... thanks!

      I have the 880. Not a huge fan of the configuration utility but it's made improvements since v6 and now w/ v7. Spend the extra $80 and get the 880! The 890 offers very little improvement over the 880.

      gixerjt - No. For $65 the 659 does not eaxctly work with Tivo. You have to pay around $130 for the 670, which is designed for Tivo users. There may be a way to get the 659 to work with Tivo using its learning feature, but it is not going to be easy to use like the 670.
