I have used Harmony, Sony, Pronto and just about every remote out there but I keep coming back to the MX series. Currently I use the MX-700 and am completely satisfied with it. IMO, if you know how to program it well enough you can make it just as simple to operate for the family as any Harmony remote.

MX-800. We wanted the RF capability to be able to handle volume/mute from the kitchen.

If your looking for a solid universal, but don't need top off the line. Check out:


http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1090227&CatId=358

It is the Harmony 659 for sale at tiger direct for a $89. All in all about the best deal out there.

I just ordered the MX-700 from Surf Remote which is an "authorized" reseller; important if you want product & tech support along with waranty I am told. I also found out that the MX-700 is being discontinued so if you are thinking about one you might want to act quickly. I have no experience with this or any Universal Remote and am going on recomendations only.

I really liked their high end "touch pannel" product but you can buy an entry level laptop for the same price! With all the software out there I would think this would be a better option.
