Arky,

Yeah, the Hitachi is eventually headed to the master bedroom when I buy a new and much improved 50" plasma. So far the Panasonic TH-50PH9UK and the Pioneer PDP-5070 are at the top of my list. I'm also considering a video processor to get the maximum from the display. I'm doing lots of research now.

I really like my Harmony 880 and so does my family. Just today I added a VCR to the list of equipment the 880 controls. The process took about 10 minutes. FYI, I have cable not a dish but I have no doubt the 880 would be up to the task of controling a dish.
