I was thinking about buying the new remote with the buttons that light up. Anyone have one and is it worth the money. I have a hell of a time at night
trying to see the buttons.

I have the RC32RF (see the general forum for a review and pictures of them).

I love it upstairs in my Master bedroom.

Ditto....unless you need to control your home theater setup, in which case the Harmony remotes are very, very good for not a lot of money.

Harmony 880. Best I've ever seen. More importantly, my wife loves it, my mother in law loves......you get the idea. I have numerous different devices and it works them all out effortlessly. I bought mine through an online deal at jr music for about $150.

Does it have a user replaceable battery pack, and if so, what does it cost. I don't want to pour 150 bucks into a remote that is useless when its Li-Ion pack goes bad (and it will).

I ordered the above remote and followed the manual exactly, and couldn't get it even programmed to work for the HD-DVR. Called D* and the CSR tried to help me, even doing a red button reset a couple of times. They finally told me they would send me a new remote.

D* suggested I program the remote, but not to set it up to control the Receiver as that was already done before sending it out.

I have two questions: 1] Anyone with experience on setting this remote up, did you skip setting up the D*Receiver...?
2] How do you set up the volume control when the TV speakers are turned off, and the audio for your system comes from an audio tuner or receiver, such as Integra...?

After just 2 or 3 days, I have now gotten my new RC32RF by FedEx [great service], and am gun shy about trying to set this up to control my TV, Audio, DVD/VCR.

Thanks for the help or a suggestion of the thread I should go to.

The Harmony 880 does have a user-replaceable battery pack. Probably a little late but Dealnews had a a deal earlier in the week through Dell where the 880 was under $120 shipped.
