Finally.. After hundreds of dollars WASTED on "universal" remotes that are never quite good enough to actually replace all of my device remotes, I have achieved nirvana! Yes, ALL of my device remotes are tucked away in a drawer with the batteries removed. I now have a single remote that functions well enough to allow me complete control over may home theater systems.
My criteria is this.
1. It must be able to control ALL functions of each device.
2. It must support MACROS where multiple remote clicks can be represented as a single click.
3. It must be simple enough for my dear wife to use without cursing. :)
The Logitech Harmony 1000 remote achieves all of the above, plus more.
It has a small dock that acts as a charger. Stoping the battery insanity. :)
It is small and clean enough to not be a decor problem. (Wifey's rule)
The settings are configured in plain English. No looking up manufactures codes and trying them to figure which one to use.
It is an expensive device, but so is the rest of my home theater system. I don't mind paying for quality.
