I seem to have programmed the 880 remote to work with my Intel Mac Mini for Front Row. I had to teach the remote all of the commands. MENU button on remote now turns on Front Row. The normal left, right, up, down buttons are used to navigate the menus in Front Row. PLAY and OK do the Play/Pause/Select function in Front Row. I can't control my volume with the Apple remote, since the output is optical digital, so I use the volume control on the 880 to control volume from my preamp.
