Good afternoon. I'm searching for a remote that will help me operate my home theater system and effectively as possible. Tried the Harmony 880 and am not overly thrilled with it.
Here are my components:
Panasonic HDTV Toshiba DVD Recorder Toshiba HD DVD Comcast Dual Tuner HD DVR Mitsubishi VCR Sony DVD MegaChanger Pioneer Elite A/V Reciever Xbox 360
Will the 500 effectively operate my setup or is there a better remote option available for me.
Thanks for the help and input.

The MX-500 works great if you have some method of getting discrete codes into it. That unfortunately usually requires another remote, unless you are lucky & all your equipment's OEM remotes have all the discretes you need. Either the Harmony if you still have it, or a cheap OneForAll maybe needing a JP1 mod.
What are your main complaints about the 880? Perhaps a different URC or Harmony model is the answer, depends what you are looking for.
