The Harmony 900 from Logitech is a marvel of modern remote control.
It has a recharging cradle, so forget about battery replacement for awhile. It's programmable, so when you want to listen to something, you don't have to remember to turn on each component first. It can control up to fifteen separate devices. It has a database of over 225,000 devices; chances are good your device is in there. LCD screen and a Help button mean you're never lost for long.
Regardless of your application, this remote can probably be adapted to it. Check and compare with comparable remotes and decide for yourself that this one is better.
One Remote for All Your ComponentsWith fully-customizable buttons, the Logitech Harmony 900 universal remote provides an all-in-one solution for one-touch control over up to 15 of your home devices including the TV, cable/satellite box, VCR, DVD, amplifier, game console, Media Center PC and more.

Pros: Price. That's about it.
Cons: Had to RMA the first one because the RF system was not working. Got my second one and immediately tested the RF. Still no good. I am not new to Harmony Remotes as I already have a fully functioning 900 elsewhere in my house. Something seems wrong with the batch that Newegg is selling.
Overall Review: If you happen to get a fully functioning one then it's a good deal. Since I can't return it I may have to get logitech to fix it, but who knows how long that will take, or if I'll have to pay shipping. 2 bad RF systems in a row... not cool.
