Product Description Style Name: Refurbished Logitech Harmony 890 From the Manufacturer Imagine… controlling all your devices using only one remote - without a direct line of sight to the components! With the Harmony 890 Remote, you can wirelessly control your home entertainment system while hiding all those unsightly wires and components behind cabinet doors or a wall.
Logitech's Harmony 890, an upgrade to the Harmony 880 remote control, uses both radio frequency (RF) and infrared (IR) wireless signals to deliver powerful complete control of your home-entertainment system that may be hidden behind cabinets. With a wireless range of up to 100 feet, the Harmony 890 remote sends RF commands to a wireless receiver, which then blasts infrared signals to the components. The Harmony 890 remote makes universal control for home entertainment and advanced lighting systems simple.
Using Your Harmony Remote
1. Easy to set up: Just connect your Harmony remote to your computer and the Web wizard walks you step-by-step through a simple set up. Enter the model numbers of your components, then answer a few easy questions about how you "Watch TV" or "Watch a DVD." Harmony lets you control even the most complex system without the hassle of programming complicated macros.
2. Easy to use: The Harmony Remote is the world's only remote with Smart State Technology®. Simply press an Activity button, such as "Watch TV" or "Listen to Music," and your Harmony Remote automatically sets up each of the devices required for that activity.
3. Easy to get help: With the Harmony remote, you don't have to know anything about your entertainment system to operate it. No sound? No picture? No problem! There's even a handy "HELP" button to guide you through simple troubleshooting and get you back in control.
4. Never out of date: The Harmony device database includes 5,000+ manufacturers and 175,000+ devices, everything from HDTVs to DVRs, VCRs to lighting controls. It's constantly updated with new components and fine-tuned settings, so your remote will never be out-of-date.

I was talking about refurb. in general. I am going to bed good note all....
The remote is great at what it does but my biggest complaint is the ergonomics. It just isn't comfortable to use, even when just flipping channels. The RF feature is nice, but won't control things like your satellite box (since they use a proprietary RF format).
polkmaniac said:Is this basically the same as the 880, but with RF added? What do you guys have that uses RF technology? Yes, same as 880 with RF. I have one in my living room and hide all electronics in the closet behind the wall - with the RF it controls my TV, receiver, TiVo, Xbox HDDVD, Media Center PC all with no wires visible. It uses transmitters to convert the RF to infrared.

same. i also use the (limited) Z-wave interoperability. i paid $120 used on eBay for an 890 and extender.. so this seems pretty warm
some of the buttons are a bit oddly shaped, like the channel and volume up and down, not very finger friendly, sometimes takes looking at the remote to make sure you arent pressing the right 'sliver' of the button array overall, no complaints as ive gotten to know the remote now and i use the 5-way more than the actual channel buttons.

MISURICK said:satellite receivers are the most common rf capable devices - but it would be nice if you cod extend to anything !
These do not work with the proprietary RF communication of the sat boxes either. It solely communicates with an RF extender box, that then breaks out into traditional IR sensors you place in front of any devices you want to control via RF. so essentially you can extend it onto anything that accepts RF commands. You can even use multiple RF extenders if you have devices spread about.
