Universal Remote Controls - Suggestions Needed

jitzy · 01-18-2009, 09:07 PM

I had an older harmony and just switched to that one on friday and love it even more than my old one, it does all the same things as the old one (I had the xbox one) but it really sits in the hand really well. I got mine on ebay for 169 and it was new in the box you have to make sure it says new or they will try and get you with a refurb.

Harmony one is by far the best all around universal remote

I'm not familiar with that model, but I have the 890 and it's GREAT. I got it on Amazon for less than $100. If you keep your eyes on the website Ben's Bargains they usually pop up on there every once in a while at a good price. They're SUPER easy to program and very easy to use. I had a touch screen remote that came with my Marantz receiver that was much more complicated to use. When I moved in with my wife I decided I needed something simpler and so I got the 890. She has no problems using it.

Simply an awesome remote. This thing will control just about anything, even my PS3. Highly recommended.

Well that's good to hear. The controller that came with my Denon 3808CI leaves a lot to be desired. Heck the remote zone controller that came with it seems to work better.

So I'll look around and see who has what on a deal.

Thanks everyone!

I love my Harmony. It controls my world. I love the macro programming through web/internet. Mine is shaped like the Tivo peanut.
