A good Universal remote control

I was looking for a way to simplify the access to the different features of my home cinema. I knew the answer would be in a universal remote control, the problem is to find the correct one...
I was lucky enough to see the Logitech Harmony by a friend, and he could only tell me good things about it.
I wanted to give it a try and went ahead buying their cheapest model, the Harmony 525.
Man, this remote is cool, it comes with a Windows and Mac software (no Linux unfortunately) that lets you program it.
Now i can ditch my four remotes (Amplifier, TiVO-like, TV and DVD) and keep this unique one, but that wouldn't be fitting my needs if the remote was only simulating those one by one.
The good stuff about this remote is that you program "Activities" like "watching TV". Here is what i need to do to watch TV (lot of people have the same use case):

1. Switch on the TV
2. Switch on the TiVO
3. Change the TV channel to the correct one

When i want to "watch a DVD" i need to:

1. Switch on the TV (if it's not already on)
2. Eventually switch off the TiVO since i don't need it
3. Switch on the DVD
4. Change the TV channel
5. Switch on the Amplifier
6. Switch the Amplifier to the DVD input

A lot of operations made easy by the harmony. The remote keeps in memory a state of your devices (what is on, what is off, on which channel or input it was last and so on) and send IR signals accordingly. It works great as long as you are not playing with original remotes or directly on the devices. (Fortunately, the remote comes with a "Help" action to let you re-synchronize this stuff after your kids/wife forgot to use the shiny new remote).

Overall i have a great experience with that remote, i had to tweak it, since my TV (A Sagem LCD TV) has a way to select a channel a bit different from most TVs.

Also something to notice is that their forum is very active and you can also contact support by phone or email (I sent them an email for the problem i had, they replied me to call them to do some tests, i worked-around my issue in the meantime and didn't call).

Go Harmony, go !
