logitech harmony 880 - hdtv channels?

[mjrand]

I was planning on buying one of these today. I just looked at a picture of it though and I can't seem to see any button on it to input hdtv channels. There doesn't seem to be a . button on it. e.g. 5.1, 9.1, etc... Am I missing something or is there really no way to input an hdtv channel?

I have the 550, when I want channel 9 regular I type in 9 and hit enter.

When I want 9.1 I type in 091 and it goes to 9.1.

I'm assuming you're using an OTA for HD because I have no clue what you're talking about.

QAM tuner or ATSC? You also may have to setup how you type in your channels in the remote setup. I just got mine and I've been settting it up for the last week, and I've got it down pretty well.

It should mimic what the OEM controller for the box you are trying to control does. If you enter 9.1 as 9-1 then that is what should work on the 880. One of the buttons on either side of the 0 key are probably what will be assigned the dash or dot key. On my DirecTV H20 when I enter one of the HD local stations it goes to the HD channels by default when I enter the number so entering a 9 gets me the HD version of 9.

Well yes, for OTA, but also QAM digital cable channels. Both use the .'s in the channel #s. At least here in Canada. Thanks for the replies guys
