    Thanks Mike. Mark, your suggestion makes a lot of sense. I think I just got caught up in the 'Activity Everything' mentality. :) It's not a big deal to have a couple commands in the LCD. I'll try a few things and see what works best.

    Let’s see if I can clarify. Basically, I’d like to have a bunch of variations on “Watch a Movie” depending on whether it’s an anamorphic DVD, 4:3 DVD, DVD with sound coming from the TV speakers instead of the receiver, and so on. The core commands would be the same for each variation but there...

    My 670 arrived today. Initial reaction is positive. It feels nice in my hands and most of the buttons are located the way I would want them on a remote. I've got the Harmony software I downloaded from the site installed (I assume that's more up to date than the disc that came with the remote)...

    Thanks for the additional info. For me I push one button to cycle through the inputs on my Samsung. I'll have to see which method works for me. Mike, I don't think you'll be alone with a non-snazzy screen. I'm going to order a 670 this week. I don't want to deal with the charger on the 880...

    Yeah, for whatever reason Amazon has great prices on the 880 and 670. I'm leaning towards the 670. At $100 it seems like a steal.

    Nice. That's pretty much the last real question I had. I'll take a look on the logitech site to see if my gear is in their database. Thanks again, guys!

    Here's an example of what I'm thinking of. Sometimes when I'm watching a movie at low volume I'll turn up the subwoofer setting in the receiver to get a rumble from the SVS. I'll do this on the fly during a movie. So what this means is I'd Hit "Watch a DVD" to get it all up and running then...

    It didn't play nice, Mark? :) How do you guys feel the remote functions when not using the activities button (controlling individual components)? I know it's mostly user preference but it would be nice to hear your thoughts.

    Thanks for the replies; they're very helpful. I'm trying to decide between the 880 and the 670. I suspect I'll like the buttons on the 670 better but that screen on the 880 is dead sexy.

    Sorry if I missed this in one of the posts but I have a question about the remote 'remembering' what mode/state the TV or receiver is in. What happens if you leave the TV in 'Component 1' mode with the remote and for some reason use the buttons on the TV itself to switch to 'TV' mode? How does...
