Logitech Harmony® 550 LCD Remote Control

I bought it after reading about several other options.
I didn't find any real advantage in buying the high-end products - maybe I'll need their features somewhere in the future...

It does what I needed - start the exact needed devices and set them for the activity needed.
It also saves me to be the the house TV support guy and resolve the TV issues which usually are bad AV settings and bad receiver settings. Now my wife can watch DVDs without my help :)

The nice thing about it is that it connects easily to the PC using USB cable and the software included known all existing TV and devices brands.
Adding special buttons is easy which also makes life easier.

The real pleasure is to click the "Watch DVD" button and see all the device turn on and set themselves to the proper position. Before it took me 3 different remotes to activate to do so.
