[QUOTE="synthdood, post: 196701, member: 47606"] I use a Harmony 555 (thinking of getting a 880 though). This is absolutely the way to go! One remote control that controls every device in your system and it is activity based (instead of device based as most universal remotes). In an activity each button can control a different device and all this is fully configurable. Eg: In my HTPC activity the cursor buttons control mediaportal, the volume buttons control the receiver, the menu button controls the TV menu, etc, etc. Getting everything configured and tweaked the way you want can take some time though. I find the web based software from Logitech very very un-intuitive. Even the simplest of things need to be done through a wizard and for some things it can be difficult to find out where the setting is that you need. Settings that could be done with two mouseclicks in normal software takes six wizard screens and fifteen mouseclicks in the Harmony software, but you get there in the end. Once you have the remote configured to do everything you want you'll never want to go back! My six original remotes now live at the back of a drawer and the (good looking!) Harmony is the only remote on the table. :D [/QUOTE]
