The Harmony 880 represents an advancement in some ways and a setback in others with respect to the Harmony 676. Its color LCD, unified activity buttons, rechargeable battery, and motion-sensing illumination are important improvements, but the buttons are more difficult to find by feel, the transport buttons are positioned and laid out less well for operating a DVR, and the IR beam seems to be narrower. Even so, the basic concept and execution is so far above any other brand of universal remote, I felt that the Harmony 880 deserved our Accessory of the Year award (see Issue 66, The Perfect Vision).
