I'm looking to buy a universal remote for my new home theatre system. Here are my components, please help by recommending something. I don't think I will be doing anything too advanced, price isn't a big issue.

Samsung LN52A850 52" LCD TV
Samsung BD-P1500 blue ray player
Rogers 8300HD PVR Digital Cable Box
Onkyo HT-S6100 HTIB
Wii

I have read many posts here but can't figure out what is best suited for my situation. At this point I'm thinking the Harmony One may be a good option. I am a real noob, as this is my first home theatre setup and first time considering a universal remote. Kind of overwhelmed by the choices out there.

Any help is much appreciated!!!

Thanks,
Daws

Harmony One is a great remote overall, hard to go wrong with it especially for a fairly basic setup as this.

There's no way to control the Wii with any remote.
