It was a, what-you-call battle of wills and blood was spilled. Vendettas were sworn. It was a whole-- Fred: My God you're so full of crap. Spike: Yeah. Okay.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Anybody else ever have to send some crap back to Dish Network? They sent me a box to return their crap, and I thought it was just the DVR and the remotes, but they also want a "switch" which I can't even find, and the LBNF which I can't get off the receiver. Maybe I'm just not pulling hard enough? What's the deal? Surely I'm not the only one who's ever had trouble with this.

I didn't realize, the newer (dunno how new) version of Google Earth, has Mars and Moon views as well. Rather cool!

My old Logitech Harmony remote (670) is wearing out and due to be replaced. Amazon has a good deal on a refurbished 880 [link] - does anyone have this model & is there anything quirky I should know about it?

My 670 is dying too, but I'm holding out for one of these: [link]

If you are replacing take a look at the Harmony One. It is very much worth it, much better design than the older style Harmony remotes, more intuitive button layout, better interface.

Is it twice as good? It's twice as expensive...

Hey. New board.
I liked my 880 a lot. I've since downgraded to a 550 (selling the 880 to my old roommate) because it does everything I need (my electronics setup is pretty simple these days) but I miss the feel of the 880.
The only problem I ever had with it was that the charge cradle didn't fit the remote perfectly, so it took a bit of a balancing act to get the remote to charge. But it was a very minor annoyance, not as annoying as actually having to change the batteries. I'd jump on it for $80.
Edit: You might also want to consider the Harmony 700 ($110 on Amazon). And the Harmony one is available refurbished for $130 on Tiger Direct. But I'd still go for the $80 880.

I have a 670 in the bedroom and a One in the living room and I'd say the one is almost twice as good yes.
It really is about them finally doing a good button layout so that you can find things on the remote by touch. The buttons are different shapes and the layout is so much better.

The status is NOT quo.
I hate to admit it because I was the one railing against the need for one that was twice as expensive, but I luvre the nicer one, and the other annoys me.
