So, how was this thing left? Apparently, no feelings were hurt, BigJohn had to drop the "C-block" term, and sure, laughs were had by all....

But, what result on the remote front?

Judging from your last post, LIttleB, it seems that you're more interested in a wife/kid friendly remote with enough functionality that it will run all of your stuff and be smart enough to know which component to send a signal to when you press certain buttons. Simplicity and logical layout/setup/use seem to be the primary concerns here. Of course, price will factor into any decision.

Judging from all of that, I can very much recommend the Harmony line of remotes. They've got them at Best Buy these days. Go there and pick one up and see how it looks and feels in your hand.

Let us know what you decide.

If I win this one, that will be what, Ray - 23, Adrien, 1. Not a great record, but I've just started. If I lose, then, no harm done, I'll slink back to my corner and lick my wounds quietly...

Happy remote hunting.
