Got a VCR?
Got a TV?
Got a DVD player/recorder?
Got a Digital set-top box?
Got a surround sound amplifier?
Got 5 separate remotes?
I used to!
Now I have this;
http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/detailsharmony/US/EN,CRID=2084,CONTENTID=9933
This is the best damn remote ever! You simply log into the website, enter your equipment model numbers and download to the Harmony via usb cable.
Anything buttons that you want customized you can via the computer link. It will even learn a remote that is not on the website.
The remote then displays things like "Watch a DVD". One press of the button and the DVD starts, the TV starts, switches to the DVD input and the amplifier comes on, switches to the output required to play audio from the DVD.
RRP is $399au, but check on-line. Mine cost $271 shipped from EYO forums

I note that the price has risen slightly.
There may be better prices out there |

For that kind of money, I'd rather teach the missus how to use the remotes I've already got! _________________ Whale

Now that is impressive Dale - a male willing to hand over his remotes |

We have a sharing relationship, and with the pc and laptop set up in the lounge room, she can watch tv/dvd's etc. whilst I'm surfing/burning dvd's/ripping Mp3 discs. _________________ Whale
