Using The Harmony 880 Remote

Additions To The Menu

If you own a previous Harmony remote, you will see a few new options. Custom Images and Favorite Channels have been added. If you are new to the Harmony Member's Website, and have not owned a Harmony remote before, simply create a username and password, and you will see the same menu options. Setup takes only about 20 minutes. This average time could be more or less depending on your system. What's nice is that once you have your information stored on ANY Harmony remote via the online website, you can transfer all your commands. I owned a Harmony 676 previously, and all of the transfer of commands took only a few minutes.

Custom Images (Main Menu)

When you press the Custom Images button, you have 3 new selections on the Harmony Member's Website:

Set A Background

Adding a background to the 880's features is really a cool new feature. What I'd like to see, is the option to upload more images, and the user could select between which one they want to use at that particular time. In fact, maybe even a different image for each day of the week might be interesting. I'm assuming this could be done via firmware updates since the remote is almost entirely software driven.

Set Up A Slide Show

The slide show was really fun to experiment with. Simply upload 1-8 images and you have your own little table top slideshow.
