I just set up the Roku and need to program my 880. I don't see anything close in the remote software. Do I set it up manually some how?

I searched and saw something about setting it up as a music server but it was for 550. I don't have a selection like that on my 880

Thanks for any help.

It doesn't matter whether you have a 550, 880 or One - the software is all the same. I'm sure it's there, just look around in the various categories with music servers or receivers/amps.

If for some reason it's not there - you just create a new device and teach it the commands from the Roku remote.

Roku is a company that has many products available .... what product?

if you are referring to the Roku- Digital video player (Netflix and Amazon.com videos) then there are only 6 buttons to learn in

Go to Add Device, select Device = Video Recorder, PVR, Manufacturer = Roku, Model = N1000

It's not quite that easy (but it's not hard either.) The remote supplied with the Roku 2 XS uses Bluetooth. Bluetooth uses radio waves not infra-red light to communicate with the Roku unit. Therefore, you won't be able to clone your Roku remote using traditional techniques.

In the Logitech Windows desktop software (currently version 7.7.0,) from the "Devices" tab choose "Add device." Select category "DVD" (yes I know that this is not intuitive) and then choose subcategory "Digital Music Server." You will then be able to choose manufacturer "Roku." Enter your model number, "2XS," for example.

Logitech has much (and perhaps all, although this is continuing to evolve in Logitech's server side database) of the functionality of Roku's original Bluetooth remote already programmed in. So, for example, you could choose Pandora or Netflix from your Logitech Harmony remote without having to do any additional research.

Good luck,

As gern said, I set my Roku LT up through DVD-Digital Music Server-Roku-Roku LT. The Roku buttons did not automatically assign to my Harmony remote; instead I had to set them manually through the Harmony software. I set Pandora, Crackle, and Netflix to the soft buttons on my Harmony 550.
