I need your help with an RF remote recommendation. Here's my setup and dilemma:
Recently moved my gear to a media closet on a relay rack. I bought the Logitech Harmony Ultimate Home so that I could control the gear in my closet over RF as well as control my TV over IR. I've had nothing but issues with the remote not being able to reach the hub (~35-40 ft away), the remote not being able to turn on the TV at times (have to be about 5-6 ft away for IR to work), the Hub constantly disconnecting, rebooting, firmware updates, etc.
Needless to say, screw Logitech, I'm done with their products.
I've thought about using a NextGen with the remote that came with my DVR, but would like to use a remote that's a bit more fancy. I've looked at URC, but heard you need to be a pro installer to set them up. I don't want to just do IP based control, as I want a physical remote and to not use my phone/tablet. With that said, any suggestions? Any URC remotes that are easy to program? Any other remotes you suggest? Thanks!
