Well I got everything programmed and the software really makes it easy on you and if you are halfway computer literate customized setups are just as easy. My one complain is they haven't updated the remote with HD settings. What I mean, is the macros are awesome, one button to turn on my dvd player, turn on my tv, go to the correct input, etc, etc...but i have three macros on screen that say Watch DVD. Watch DVD 1, Watch DVD 2, Watch DVD 3. Why wouldn't this have, watch HD DVD, Watch DVD, so on and so forth. It should have that by now and I figure they could update the firmware to offer that. The other thing is, since the PS3 is blutooth, i cant turn that on with it. I knew this going in and didnt want to spend the extra money on the 890 that would be able to do it. Its not that big a deal, but it would be convenient since now all I have on my coffee table is the 880......and the PS3 controller...not really conducive. Overall though, the controlling functionality has been great so far. No issues with my A2 or cable box in normal controls. FF, RW, pause, my DVR guide, everything works great. I think I am going to love this remote. Customized backgrounds and a image slideshow just adds to the fun.
