I use OTA antenna with my Panasonic TV, all basic stations in our area provide a very high quality HD content (less comprssed comparing to satellite/cable channels). The problem, how to send subchannels numbers with hyphen like 6-1, 8-2 etc. using Harmony 880/890 Remote.

Just map the "-" command to any key you wish. If it's not in the database for your TV, use the learn IR function. Then you can enter the 3 buttons it takes to change directly to a channel.

My TV uses a "." for subchannels (6.1, 6.2, etc.) and I mapped it to the Plus key (just left of the zero).

Thanks, I'll try this evening.

I still think that dedicated "-" key should be a must in all new remotes, we go digital next year but even Harmony One doesn't have "one".

Well here's the problem. Not everyone needs a "-". I don't. I need a "." So the Plus button, just left of the "0" is the one I use. In my activity for watching OTA TV, I couldn't think of any other command to put there, and since that's where the "." is on my original remote, it was logical to map that command to it.

I have a URC and a Logitech ONE and have the "-" mapped to the plus button on both remotes. Interesting that they both use the "+" symbol and not just leave it blank.
