All of the sudden after years of faithful service my MX-500 died. I am looking for something that will do the basic functions of my Denon 2307, Samsung 52 A650, Samsung 1500, and my DVR. I dont want anything too complex. Any help would be appreciated

Whats your budget? The Harmony 550 is a decent remote at $50 or so. The MX-810 is nice too, spendier, but I think a better remote. its over 100 though.

Id say around $200 would be max. I like gadgets

For a little more than your budget, you can get an MX-900 or new MX-450. Both are nice remotes. If you have had an MX, you probably won't be happy with a Harmony.

More configurable, better build quality, RF is built into almost every remote. So later if you need an RF Extender you can buy one of the numerous add-ons that URC sells. I use the MX-810 and MRF-350.
