IMO the 880 is okay, but far from perfect... mostly not Logitechs fault though.
Mine has problems charging unless totally accuratly positioned in the cradle, and within a month or so of purchase the paint started coming off. Sadly because I'd moved countries between buying the the problem occuring I'd had no luck getting it fixed (the charging issue bugs me way more than the paint). The web UI to program the thing is really clunky. A native PC app would be a lot better. An improved Web experience would help considerably in the meantime. My biggest gripe with the unit though is a failing of every remote. Actually there are two. The first is that because communication is almost always one-way the remote can't query a device to find out its status and make intelligent choices (eg actually turn something on if it's off rather than just toggle status which can end you up in a bad place, or find out what mode the TV is in if it doesn't have direct access to inputs but has to step through them). If someone would come up with a standard for two way remotes for consumer electronics I'd be very happy (after all, we've got 2 Bluetooth, 2 USB, 4 Wifi and some random ZigBee etc stuff... one more protocol won't hurt!) - Logitech could start the process off with a next generation Harmony, Squeezebox/Transporter and their speaker setups. The devices could even use this to talk amongst themselves and be smart (eg amp powers down, it's the only input to the speakers so they power down) The second gripe is kinda related to the first... having two devices that respond to the same IrDA signal. My LG DVD player picks up signals meant for the Squeezebox and does random annoying things (volume up on the squeezebox ejects the disc on the DVD player!) - not good for WAF (especially if the DVD was recording something) -- OffBeatMammal ------------------------------------------------------------------------ OffBeatMammal's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10360 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37083 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
