Logitech ending Harmony remotes

I personally use the Harmony 350 (when it was the 300 or it later changed to the 350i - something like that) at 4 TVs ever since using WMC - and it was discontinued years ago by Logitech, so I bought a bunch when announced that model will be no more. Was gonna go to Harmony Hub and remotes after all my 350s died, but I guess that plan is scrapped.

For anyone who's interested, I've been using the 4-1 inteset remote for the past 5 years and it's worth the money. You can't beat the features of this remote for $25. It's well built, backlit and programable through the roof. You can find this remote on Amazon.

If you have a Harmony remote that is older and has frequently used buttons that no longer work reliably, I can strongly suggest using the ButtonWorx product to fix the remote.

I've used the product to repair a Harmony and can recommend it 100%. The owner is very helpful and has a number of YouTube videos to assist you with the disassembly and reassembly of the remotes.

They also can help with other remote button repairs. I've tried a number of remote button solutions over 15 years, and ButtonWorx is the only one that permanently fixes the problem.

I have no financial interest in this product. Just a very happy end user.

I guess the big question is when will Logitech shut down the remote control servers which the Harmony Remote software uses. After all, they finally did it for the Squeezeboxes a few months ago (it only affects internet radio thru their servers).
I currently use the Harmony 550 (got 5 for spares) and also 2 Squeezeboxes.
I hope they keep it up and running so we can still configure and re-configure these great devices.

This is a sad saga/ The 880 is still my main unit, repaired a few times, yes, but still great. I think it replaced 8 remotes. So what a re folks using instead of Harmony's or what will they be maybe better asked?
