Universal Remote
For those millions of people like me that have several remotes and can’t seem to eliminate the need for all of your remotes leaving only one truely universal remote, it may be worth your time and money to invest in a Logitech Harmony Remote. I just found a middle-of-the-road model at NewEgg.com for $120 shipped!
To give you an idea what I’m dealing with at home, I have remotes for the following in my main room: RCA TV (will control DVD player) Philips DVD Player (single device remote) OmniFi Media Player (single device remote) JVC Surround Receiver (will control TV and DVD above) Samsung Set-top box (single device remote)
Each has their own remote and none will control all of the rest. Enter the Logitech Harmony Remote. It can not only control each of the items above, but it will also handle Macros for specific tasks like ‘Watch TV’ or ‘Watch a DVD’ which handles any necessary component switching to get the job done.
