I'm on my third and last failing attempt with an 880. In each case, either one of the base or remote contacts has corroded within 3 months.

I switched to Harmony to save money, get activity-based use, and not have to deal with quirkiness. At this rate, I may as well go back to a Pronto and deal with all its annoyances. At least I can get it to charge.

This thing needs to be recalled and fit with a USB charger. Meanwhile, I'm going to go get my four remotes out of the cabinet one more time.
