Are Universal Remotes worth it for my uses? - Blu-ray Forum

Is there a feature on the Harmony One that makes it a whole lot better than the 880 besides the touch screen?

the buttons are easier to find/push. Plus they illuminate much nicer. The One's LCD screen has better resolution, making the icons look much sharper.

Plus the look is much nicer. I like the black remote look rather than the silver bean shape look.

Heck yea! just for the Slow-mo feature!

Where's the cheapest place where I can find a Harmony One? I can still live with an 880 but if I can a Harmony One for a similar price, I will go for it. Is it easy to program things?

circuit city has been having a real nice closing sale on harmony remotes. If you don't have one in your area, you may have to look online. In which case amazon usually has the better deals.

I do have a few nearby. How much discount is it on the Harmony Remotes?

some members on here said they got one for $130. Might want to hurry before they sell out. If they haven't already.

I got mine from CC for 20 bucks because somebody stole the battery and programming software. It was an easy fix. I ordered the battery off ebay and downloaded the software from logitech's website.
