wvu80 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 I don't own this and I don't know much about them, but how about this for forty bucks? The #1 selling remote on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Harmony-Infrared-Universal-Programmable/dp/B004OVECU0/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_23_bs_tr_t_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=DHC8VYP3J8RDTF4D8RX3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TasDom Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 A little out of your budget but I've seen some really good deals the last couple of months on the Harmony Ultimate with hub. No line of sight needed and works on wi-fi. You can also add an Amazon Echo, Dot, etc. down the road for voice control. As Youthman said the. Logitech remotes are easy to program and several activities can be set up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TasDom Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 I have the Harmony 650 in my bedroom. It's ok but for some reason it really goes thru batteries quickly. The others mentioned above are rechargeable by resting in their cradle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definitely worth the money 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That reminds me, if you use your phone and or tablet, you only have to get the Harmony Hub which is sold separately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rivernuggets Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 I've been using a Harmony 300, uses 2 AA batteries that I've replaced once in a couple years. It has been replaced with the newer 350 model: https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-915-000230-Harmony-350/dp/B00J7KM5X4/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1510112881&sr=8-4&keywords=harmony+300 Very easy to program. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rplace Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Beyond you budget, but at least give it a look. I've had the Harmony Companion for a long time now and very happy. It is only $30 more than the harmony hub which others have already mentioned. Small, lightweight, simple. The Harmony Hub is a must have if you TV is on the wall and equipment off location like mine is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efzauner Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 you may be out of luck to control your Bluetooth PS3 though.. We have a ps4 and there is PDP universal remote. Managed to get it to control cable box, Pioneer SC71 but never go the volume feed thru to work. Plus the buttons are tiny and not back lit. Next to impossible to use it in a dark HT room. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TasDom Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Good choice! It gets much easier thru repetition. Did it come with the IR extenders / blasters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know what they do but it did 😁 They will allow control of devices that don't have a direct line of sight from the hub. If all devices have control from the hub then you won't need them but if for instance one of your components was in a cabinet (like mine) you would plug one in to the hub and lay the transmitter end within the view of the IR receiver of that component.
