you can play with the software in advance of buying the remote go to

http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/re...otes/&cl=us,en

or get software here
http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/440/3742&cl=us,en

you will need to create and account but you can walk thru the process of setting up all your stuff in advance

DOnt forget that its also a learning remote if need be

in order to setup anything you will need exact model numbers

Ive had the various universals in the past - no comparison

I push a button called watch DVD it turns everything on for DVD
I push a different button for play Xbox - it switches everything to the XBOX

This one can do that with the Macro Buttons, but there are only three. I M1 programmed to change the input of the TV to Input 3, Change the Audio input to DVD, and turn on the DVD player. It does all that with the push of a button.

I only get 3 channels, 4 if I want to hold the antenna... I thought Sony made a super remote?

they do

What the hell Charlie? Are you communist? No cable???? Good lord man, do you have indoor plumbing yet?

Between the kiddo and the truck, there is no spare money left! Besides, I spend more time on the computer and the garage than I do in front of the TV.

Damn that sounds like me.. I do have cable although ,i make the wife pay it. Though i do find TV very educational every time someone turns it on i go in the other room and read a book.

I hope you know I was just teasing with you. I have cable right now, but every time I decide to cut expenses, cable is the first thing I shut off. Definitely not a necessity for me either.

It's not the Sony I was thinking of. It had a blank LCD screen that you loaded icons and such on and it was backlit in indigo style.

they have the same software as the one I posted earlier - but who wants something coffee table size to change channels ?

[03LightningRocks]

I couldn't take it anymore. Ever since reading this post, I get pissed off when I look at the pile of remotes on my coffee table. I have to hit three different remotes to turn off the TV,surround and cable box. Enough of the BS for me. I just ordered the 880. Found it for 158 bucks...shipped. I should have it in three days.

Thanks Doug. I needed something else to blow money on.

Ok, I am intrigued, so I went out there and downloaded the Logitech software, registered, and then went to do the install.. Well, since I dont have a device, I am stalled in the water.. dang it.. I didnt see the 520 on the website either.. was it another 5xx model? anyway, I needs to know if the Bang and Olufsen will work with it.. even it if doesnt (and I am betting that it wont, its odd stuff) that I may go with this anyway just to eliminate the clutter down to two remotes..

The one I saw was a Marantz I think.
