Yes you do and this was in fact a problem for my parents whom I bought one of these for. I now lay it on the couch and punch the button and wait till the light goes out. This is not a unique problem to this remote but any remote that does IR. With several devices, all found in the Harmony database, I wouldn't trade this remote for remotes costing hundreds more. The we based software is really nice once you get the hang of it as well.BraveSirRobbin said:Rupp;
Do you have to "hold" this remote at your equipment while it performs "macros"? Is that a problem? How long do you have to aim the device at the equipment once you initiate a macro?
That seems to be the only complaint I have read about on the Harmony's (which is why they came out with the RF device).![]()
Yes you do. I have two harmony remotes. The 880 works fine with the Media Center. As does the 520 I have (although I have a problem with it turning on/off my tv automatically which is part of its basic functionality). I suspect a call to tech support will clear that one up.BraveSirRobbin said:Rupp;

when I go to that Amazon link it says "Ships from and sold by Electronica Direct." I wonder if that is a regional thing?Paul said:you'll notice on that amazon that underneath the price it sayselectron said:Looks like some other retailers have this remote for the same price as well:

I see 3 options on the amazon page. The "ships from" says TigerDirect, but on the right it gives me options for Electronica Direct at the same price and Amazon for $44.88.WayneW said:when I go to that Amazon link it says "Ships from and sold by Electronica Direct."
