Just wondering if anyone actually uses the remote for all their needs. My remote will be controlling a Samsung HL61A750 as well as a Dish Network 722 (maybe 622) satellite receiver. I will have a PS3 but thats kinda a given that it needs to be controlled by itself (or buy an BT to IR adapter).


Since all components will be running into the Onkyo I will be using the remote to change the inputs anyways. Trying to not have to buy a $100 Harmony or have 10 remotes lying around.

I picked up a Harmony on eBay for half retail. I think the Onkyo remote is not that great, we only use it for controlling the iPod dock.

The only thing about the Harmony is what will it do the Onkyo cant realistically? The tv will stay on one input because all components will be ran into the receiver. If the Onkyo remote can do a decent job of controlling the Dish receiver I think I will stick with it.
