I wanted a single remote the entire family could use and the Harmony 880 fit the bill controlling my 990 and other components. Please keep in mind that to get the most from the 880 you will need to spend some time working through Logitech's web based menu system. The initial setup takes just a few minutes but after a while you will want to tweak it and that is where you will spend some time. I didn't find the menus very intuitive when I was fine tuning the 880. However, I enjoy that kind of stuff so it was OK w/me. Logitech support has been great when I have called them on specific questions. All things considered the Harmony 880 has been a good deal.
