Why?

One reason: My wife (and my visiting parents) can use my system.

Easy to setup (notice that I didn't say "program") and sooper easy to use.

Best purchase ever.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/09/05/logitech-harmony-890-advanced-universal-remote/http://www.engadget.com/2005/09/05/logitech-harmony-890-advanced-universal-remote/

Got it setup in about 15-20 minutes.
Love it.

The only "big" thing I would change is to make the PVR/DVD controls more prominent.

Big plus: works with my Mac.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/09/05/logitech-harmony-890-advanced-universal-remote/http://www.engadget.com/2005/09/05/logitech-harmony-890-advanced-universal-remote/
