Logitech Harmony 1100

Pros: Very intuitive online interface. Even if you do not get thru the initial setup with the pre-defined options set correctly there is easy ways to change the setup.

Cons: Must buy $15 Nyko USB / Infrared remote to help control Sony Playstation 3 functions but even then you have to power on / off the Playstation manually.

Summary: This online setup of the remote gives you endless combinations of ways to setup your system by turning on only the devices you need for certain functions and turning those devices to the proper function. (i.e. putting the tuner on tuner, cable/Sat, CD or other functions. I have a multiple zone AV receiver with an extra receiver to power out door speakers. So I can be watching TV on my main zone receiver while also having the main receiver zone 2 set on tuner on which is linked to my extra receiver set to AUX input to power the outdoor speakers that can be playing a different souce such as the radio. All this can be done with the touch of a single button on the remote. So far I have not found a limitation to setup the Harmony 1100 screen buttons and can be customized to work any button found on any remote controls you have in your possession. The handy motion sensor auto lights up the remote for the custom amount of time that you set from 10 seconds to over 1 minute during inactivity. Full screen color with multiple screen levels allows for variable activities within each activity. For instance you can setup 24 favorite channels for the watch TV function by setting up 6 icons on 4 separate screens. You can get icon pictures from this website. http://www.lyngsat-logo.com/
