The 880? ..no one mentioned who makes it! No batteries? I feel a purchase comin on...

Logitech Harmony, best prices are on e-bay.

I think the programmable remotes are only ood to a certain point unless ALL of your equipment is compatible. I have a Samsung DLP that doesn't have dicete on/off and a polk XM tuner that won't allow the same key to be hit twice in a row on my remote (it's remote works fine).

Because of issues such as this, I STILL haven't bothered programming any macros....

The Harmony's can be setup about any way you want, for devices that are not in their huge inventory on the internet they can be trained just like most remotes for whatever functions you want. I have 3 of their remotes, all used in rooms without compatible equipment and they all work great.

Mark, I think your keyboard is missing a button.

Thanks everyone!

Ratpack, I think that's a good idea and I did bypass the receiver (video only) for my DirecTV. But not for the the DVD. I don't remember for sure now, but it seems like I didn't have enough inputs to do both. I'll check it out next time I have to pull it out and see. Thanks for the tip!

I'll have to check out one of those remotes, man that could save me a bunch of room and a bundle on batteries! lol

Well I'm really starting to love my new speakers and receiver now that everything is working right. It sounds great and I couldn't be happier!

Sorry about that! Been a bit harried lately and haven't been spell checking!

You know what they say; "harried today; gone tomorrow."

HomeDad,

Whaddyamean, no batteries? Does it have a crank? Or do you shake it vigorously? Update me, please.

Regards,

The 880 sits in a cradle to charge internal battery.
