This Logitech Remote Will Enslave All Your Gadgets

Throw away that bunch of remotes that are messing up your living room. Enter the Logitech Harmony. The Harmony remotes are renowned for offering (relatively) easy programming via desktop software, which is available for both Windows and Mac systems. Just choose your home-theater hardware from an extensive (and frequently updated) database, then set up your desired activities ("Watch a movie," "Listen to music," and so on).

There are quite a few models to choose from and the entire range of remotes is carried by Amazon. The remote's built-in help screens walk you through any problems that may crop up (like the TV turns on but the receiver doesn't), great for when grandparents, babysitters, and other non-residents are trying to operate your stuff.

Certainly something that I'm going to pick up for my home theater system. If you want to check the entire range, you can choose your logitech harmony here.
