Need help for Universal Remote selection

angryjack · 2008-05-12, 10:47

i need your help because i'm getting confused with all the remote controls i have

Currently i'm using a Medion 81035 with learning function for all devices but this is not the perfect solution. It reacts mostly very slowly on those functions i have learned to it.

I also want to switch with one click e.g. from TV to MP, where i have direct control then for the new selected device. Basic functions like volume control should be "punched through". The new remote must be easy to use and it should be possible to "blindly" switch between the devices without having a look to the remote's display all the time.

I have to control the following items:

- TV Samsung LCD
- Sagem DBOX2 cable receiver
- HTPC with MCE IR
- IR power sockets with which i switch lights on and off

These are my favorite candidates:

- Logitech Harmony 525
- One For All Digital 12

Do you recommend one of them or is there another one which fits my requirements ?

btw: It should also be affordable
