Finally got to put the 5 OEM remotes in the Drawer
Written By Joseph, Morrow, Ohio on Tuesday, August 29, 2006

Great remote, especially considering the price. I had one issue with input selection (toggling) on the RPTV but a couple of calls to Logitech's support line (Excellent, by the way; no real wait time and great people to deal with) got things resolved, a couple of quick downloads was all it took. 4 of the 5 OEM remotes I have are "universal", but the best one could only control 3 devices, and it took a lot more clicks to operate the system. I highly recommend this unit.

Decent...all things considered
Written By Brett, Cincinnati, OH on Monday, April 10, 2006

Wasn't sure if it could control my digital cable box from Time Warner, but it definately could!! Setup was very easy...step by step procedure online via USB.
Here's the downside in my experience: If you turn anything on by hand...ever..the remote gets confused and turns it off or to the wrong setting when you press the "activity" buttons later. Bit of a hassle. Would have been better if it could "sense" what equipment is on and off at any time.
Well thought out, but not sure if its worth $130.

This is a great remote. It controls all 5 of my components in my system with no problem. I was able to program it for all of my devices, even the off-brands, without using the learning port. The only complaint I have at all is the buttons themselves. There's a small plastic cap with the text on the top of each button and this part is prone to separate from the bottom of the button. I've lost three of the button faces so far, but the buttons are still usable. For this reason, next time I'll probably get the 880.

Finally....
Written By Scott, Greenville, MS on Thursday, July 07, 2005

A remote that controls everything I have!! I have a six year old RCA TV, an older Zenith VCR and a many other A/V equipment and could not find one remote to control all of them at once until this one. The website setup is great since I don't have to key anything into the remote itself. The "Media" button is great to see what's coming on next half hour or next six hours. I never spent a hundred plus dollars on a remote for my A/V system, but it was well worth it.
