Harmony 880 and Linux. Logitech is another stupidass company.

Just got this in the mail today. I knew it didn’t have Linux support (although Logitech promised it for its Harmony line eons ago), but I just wanted to rant and rave a bit. There isn’t a competitive disadvantage for them at all in making this work with Linux. The burgeoning homebrew PVR market is clamoring for a half-way decent remote, instead of those clunky made in my backyard versions. As I understand it, their damn programming app is even java-based and runs in a browser. Frak! So it would take like 1 Logitech tech approximately an hour to figure out how to make it run under Firefox in Linux.

Stupidass company. </rant>

Update: Some ppl are working around Logitech. Good for them. Go here and here

It seems like the 2nd link isn’t too encouraging. Logitech is basically saying stuff it. I say stuff them!
