I love the 880's functionality (I have four of them), but not so much the button layout. Is the layout of buttons more similar to the peanut (which, generally, is remote control perfection)?

Thanks again Dave for alerting me of a Dell sale on the 880 a few years ago! If you just have a tivo and tv, I agree the Glo peanut is the way to go! The feel and layout of that remote is heavenly.

At over $100 it's too expensive and too difficult to program it correctly. I really hope these new models work better especially at these ridiculous price points.

Especially after I spoke with people at CES at the booth and they were aware of all of my gripes and said they were already working to address them.

Are there any decent competitors in the same price range as the Harmony models yet? I have an 880, and it's ok, but I don't love it. Last time I looked into it, most of the other options were either much less capable or much more expensive (sometimes both!)... I haven’t really been following closely.

Though... We have Harmony remotes in both the livingroom and bedroom, but always gravitate to the TiVo Glo Remotes. Brian, I've had two 880s (currently down to 1) and one rested in the charger just fine. Unfortunately, that's the one I don't have any longer. My current one loses contact all the time and can beep all night if I'm not careful in how I sit it down. Could explain why it usually has no charge. ;) Pol, I’ve always tweaked mine at initial setup and then had no real probs.

I agree that this doesn't seem to be that much of an improvement. I love my 880 (despite the annoying charging issue). I agree that this doesn’t seem to be that much of an improvement.
