It must be terrible to go through life with every comment one hears being evaluated and dissected by one's testosterone.

... most operations are one handed ... if your hand is big enough, but, to me, using a second hand is a bit more convenient. Braggart!

I've no real experience with the Harmony, and would not be a bit surprised if they have equally well designed ergonomics. I mention the above merely to remind you to compare the ergonomics of both to see if you have a preference. It's not even close. Harmony buttons along the LED screen are beyond horrible. It's tiny and it's very hard to operate by feel alone. It's not a bad remote; it's just that it's not even close to the URC line.

Well, it really depends on the Harmony. I have no problem operating my 676 by feel. The 880, yeah, I could see that being a big issue.

Yeah, the 880 looks great and is tempting for $169.00 in Costco in Canada, but I dont like the flat buttons either. I prefer the raised buttons of the 670 (676 looks the same). Probably easier to use one handed while not looking.

I just bought the 676 from Visions, it has a $50 reabate for $88 total.

Anyone have advice on a cheap RF solution for just a single device. I just want to be able to control two devices really, my Squeezebox and Receiver to my M60s in the living room. Opening the Garden doors makes for music on the deck but I have no control. Even if I could just control the Squeezebox, I'd be happy.
I use a URC 300 in my HT room. I like it a lot but it's overkill for the above.

I just bought the 676 from Visions, it has a $50 reabate for $88 total. Yeah, I just saw that and am wondering if its not much different from the 670 for PVR use? If its close I am gonna get one too. Just gotta find out how the 676 compares to the 670.
