Absolutely. I've got two rooms with hifi/av systems and a Pronto for

I'm a programmer by trade, so I don't mind spending hours and hours
tweeking the config. My old Pronto has been amazing for the better
part of 6 years, and it still controls every IR device

I use Harmony as well, and I'm generally happy with it. Activities are
great, but it's a bit of a pain programming the thing. Mostly because

Looking forward to it and I hope it does all I need it to!

I'd imagine it does.
So does the URC-200 I mentioned. I've 'taught' mine the button codes
from the Slim's remote since it wasn't in the list of pre-programmed
codes. I think the codes for a

Looks like you're headed for a Harmony, just thought I'd mention the
URC one more time. A remote w/ customizable LCD or $50, it's a steal
and can do whatever you need.

Another vote for the Harmony 880. I used a Pronto before. It worked great but required a time investment to program it. The real problem for me was when I replaced or added a piece of gear I had to go back through the programming learning curve to update the remote. In contrast: I recently moved

All the Harmony remotes are awesome. Pick the one which suits your
budget, they all have the same basic functionality. The significant
differences to choose between them (other than price) are mainly the
number and location of the buttons, the size and quality of the screen,
and overall design. I
