I have to agree with the first and third comments. I LOVE my 880, but that wizard is a royal PITA for power users. A 4th-grader could design a more useable system for tweaking. Initial setup is great, but don't make it a chore to customize my remote.
And that help feature really is a joke. My ideal help screen: give me 8 choices on the first menu, such as "Power Off a Device", "Change a Source on a Device", etc, for those situations where the IR signal didn't reach its target. The next menu would list the device to power off, i.e. TV, Receiver, etc. Two clicks and the problem's solved.
