My Harmony 880 after about 7 years or so of use is on its way out. The screen has a crack, one of the buttons is missing, another simply refuses to work etc. So the time has come to start looking into a replacement.
In browsing here the ARRX18G comes up and appears on the face of it to be a good deal, it looks like they can be picked up for $45 on eBay. But is it on the same kind of level as the Harmony for ease of use? set up etc? If I pick up another Harmony it may be something like a Harmony Ultimate One. But if the AR is as good, then I would rather save some money and go down that route. This would be the main remote in the living room and need to control:
Samsung TV
Pioneer AVR
DirecTV Genie
HTPC
Xbox One (power on/off)
Thanks.
