I am on the hunt for a universal remote for the ole home theater. Our cable company provides one but it's no longer up to snuff with recent additions. I am looking for something preferably <$200

Controlling the following:

Playstation 3 (with USB dongle for IR)
Toshiba HD-A3
Yamaha HTR-5560 Reciever
Samsung LNS3241D 32" Wide LCD HDTV
Motorola 6413 PVR
MythTV Box (this one is optional for me)

I have a 5 year old, something more on the rugged side would be better.

Thanks!

Scott

For about $50 more than your budget, you can get URC's MX-900 remote. Built like a tank and *WAY* better than Harmony line.

I am not affiliated with this company, just trying to help out a fellow forum member.

I have several posts in the One thread and I think you'll see that it is overwhelmingly a hit with most of the users!

I picked up the Harmony 670 for a little over $100, thanks all :)


Now I want to see if I can get discrete codes in for sources, now THAT would make me happy.
