The Logitech Harmony 688 Universal Remote Control

I got mine in the mail yesterday. It takes a little bit of time to get it set up initially, but, WOW! I have my home theatre set up, and it's never been easier to control it. If I want to watch TV, I press the "Watch TV" button, if I want to watch a DVD, I press the "Watch DVD" button, and the whole system configures itself. Now, when I watch TV, I usually watch it through my ReplayTV, and want to use the speakers in the TV for the sound. When I watch a DVD, I want to use the stereo and all of my speakers for the sound. That means I used to have to use a different remote to control the volume depending on weather I was watching TV or a DVD. No longer, It was easy to have the Logitech Harmony 688 set up to control the whole system just the way I want to control it. When I switch activities, the functionality of the remote changes to accomodate that activity.

I can't believe how easy it is to use. I have had other "Universal" remote controls, but this one is smarter than the others. Deffnitely the coolest thing I have purchased in a long while.
