Yes it will. You would set up 4 devices, at first all using the same codeset, then click settings> then confirm IR commands, it will ask you to teach a few commands. Use a remote set to alternate address of you choice, one between 1-6. It will change the other commands to that address. Do the same for the 3 remaining devices, but using a remote set to a different address each time.
Harmony 880: Support four DVRs?

OMG... 
And I was excited updating my 880 yesterday adding the new HR20-700 box I just had installed alongside my HR10-250.

All,
After reading this thread I'm confused (possibly in a good way). I just purchased a Harmony 676 from Amazon to control multiple devices in my family room. (TV, DirecTIVO, Home theater, etc). I have not received it yet.
Is this thread saying that this same remote can work multiple devices in other rooms as well?
If so, I had no idea. I was thinking of purchasing another for my bedroom (TV, DVD player and (cringe) R-15)
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.

As classicat pointed out this thread is about using it in one room, however you can definately set up your harmony to work in another room as well. You can set up multiple activities so you could have Living room TV and Bedroom TV set up with the different devices in each room. I would still want a separate remote for the other room anyway but that is because my wife and I want to watch different things at the same time so we would need 2 remotes.spidey-man said:All,

Because 1 DVR can record 2 things at once, but 2 DVRs can record 4.spidey-man said:
And old7 can record 16 things at once. But I don't think he holds the record here though. A few years ago a guy had 10 or 12 DVRs set up.bigpuma said:Because 1 DVR can record 2 things at once, but 2 DVRs can record 4.
I share a GXCEBOT and an HR10-250 between two TV's in two different rooms. Each room has a different set of supporting equipment (TV, DVD, AV receiver, etc). An 880 remote in each room controls everything. I route the IR from the living room to the theater room where the Tivos reside via a wired setup through the walls and attic. The Watch HDTV activity in the living room works exactly the same as it does in the theater room. It makes it very easy for my wife to grab the remote and watch what she wants. I'll be adding an HR20 to the mix soon.

I have 10 DVRs total, but only 8 in one room being controlled by the 880.rlj5242 said:

I can only make one assumption on this. Either you have that many units with stock drives, or you are retired with no life to be able to watch that much tvold7 said:I have 10 DVRs total, but only 8 in one room being controlled by the 880.

Seems like it would be better to run 2 or 3 boxes with very large hard drives and save money on extra receiver fees, that being unless you are just using some of them to mrv stuff over to.
None of them have stock drives. I don't watch that much TV, but when I do I want to watch something that I that I want. Two DVRs (1 HD & 1 SD) have nothing but movies. One is strictly for my 10 year old daughter, shared to her bedroom with video/IR distribution. Two DVRs (1 HD & 1 SD) are primarily for my wife. One is just sports and another is just adult. All of the HDVR2s have MRV enabled.Scott40 said:I can only make one assumption on this.

Hard drives:
HR20-700: Seagate Freeagent 750 GB
HR20-700: Seagate Freeagent 750 GB
HR10-250: 2 * WD 320 GB
HR10-250: 2 * WD 250 GB
HDVR2: 320 GB
HDVR2: 250 GB
HDVR2: 250 GB
HDVR2: 250 GB
Sony T60: 2 * WD120 GB
Sony T60: 2 * WD120 GB
Quick math: just over 4TB
My problem is that as I keep buying HD DVRs, I always tell myself that I will retire an SD DRV, but I never do. I know that I really should, but I don't.
Speaking of retired DVRs I have have 3 Sony T60s and 2 HDVR2s that are retired and sitting in a closet, all with upgraded hard drives.
man, my wife would definitely shoot me if I had that many DVRs.old7 said:
she thinks we have way too many now.
