ahhhhhh.... Geeky, IR transmitting, universally programmable, JPG & GIF supporting, couch potato loving...GOODNESS!!
Thats right. Today, I picked up a Logitech Harmony 880 Universal Remote Control. I gotta tell you the truth. I think the clouds parted, angels sung on high, and beams of celestial energy shown upon the awesomness that is the Harmony 880. GET THIS REMOTE!
I've been kicking around the idea of picking up a universal remote for quite some time now. I've been getting tired of juggling remote controls around every time I want to watch a DVD. Now, after setting up the Harmony, I merely press ONE BUTTON and instantly my TV turns on and changes to the correct input, the receiver turns on and switches to DVD/LD and last but not least, the DVD fires up and awaits that oh so, precious Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire DVD! Need to turn down those lights to enjoy that Potter? No problem, just add some X-10 modules to the lamps. BAM! Instant Harmony-controlled lighting!
The LCD screen is customizable with buttons, wallpapers and other dittys that make any geek quiver with excitement. It's all accessable via Logitech's website and a USB cable with the remote attached. Yes, you heard that right. The remote is configured via the Internet. (insert man grunt here...)
Heck, the only thing thats missing is the LCARS Ships Computer requesting further instructions! If you've been shopping for a remote to make your digital life easier, definately check out the Harmony 880!
Gonna go play with my remote some more. I've just gotta find out what this "stun" setting is for!
