The world of DIY programable remotes has come a LONG way. KennyT raves about his Harmony saying its SO EASY to program and SUPER affordable. He laughs at me with my Crestron system that needs a programmer for EVERYTHING and costs me a fortune.

True that! My $279 Harmony 890 does everything I need and thanks to the RF control (included for that price) it does it almost perfectly, and I CAN reprogram it in minutes to accommodate any changes in my system...

Now, I do lack the cool factor of the large touchscreen remote, but having had both touch screens and hard button based remotes, I'll take a solid hard button unit any day! I hate having to look down at the remote to perform functions like FF and REW...

I agree it's hard to beat the Harmony remotes, they are so easy to set up & use I even bought one for my parents!
I use the 880 (same as 890 but no RF) & they can be had for around $100.
