Or maybe buy one of the expensive ones instead of a refurbished cheap model...

I had a 550 and now an 880.  The only reason I got the 880 was because kids had sat on the 550 enough times to crack the screen.  After some yelling and complaining about not being able to have anything nice, I bought the 880 and told to never sit on the damn thing.  Never had problems with either one sending the wrong signals, though (that problem I reported in an earlier post was actually just Playmobil in the way of the sensor on the receiver).  But yeah, they were both pretty expensive as compared to all-in-one universal remotes.
Prayin' for a 20!

The programming software is enough of a PITA that the only reason I went Harmony again was the referb price .

If I had to pay full price I would check out one of the alternatives for sure.

This thing as been sending random signals too. Its really just a lemon. I'm not saying all of these remotes are bad, just this one. But I can say the software is a pos and I really don't want to have to deal with it again. I've put off programming my TV into it because its so annoying.
