Harmony. Any model that will fit your budget will be the best remote you've ever owned. You can get great prices on Hamony's at Amazon.

I second the Harmony suggestion!

As a Harmony owner for 5+ years, I'll third the recomendation.

anyone has any experience with the 880 and what do you guys think of $144 from Amazon?

thanks

The only complaint I've ever heard about the 880 was early models tended to not sit in the charging cradle too well. I think a couple people on this forum had this problem, but Logitech replaced them and the new models are fine. You really can't go wrong with any of their models. They all function the same way, with the big differences between models being colored vs. B&W screen and batteries vs. charger.

They also all program the same way (go to:Harmony Software for the download. You can test drive the software before you buy.). It may take a couple minutes to figure out that the remote is used by activity (Watch TV, Watch DVD, Listen to Music) rather than device, but once you "get it" that the remote basically does all the thinking for you, you'll never go back.

PS - That's a great price. I've never seen it for under $200 except on Amazon.

I have the 880 and its a capable remote. Dell had a nice sale on them so you may want to check and see if that deal is still on.

Harmony is a good remote. However, it didn't work correctly on my Samsung LN-T4071, so I returned it.

Dell has the 880 for $129 with free shipping if anyone else is interested.
