have been considering either remote. i do realize there is a price difference between the two. the harmony seems like it's upgradable by connecting to their site (for codes), but require a usb port on a pc. my older dell laptop does not have a usb port. harmony tells me it's easily obtainable, but i know zip about them, and it also adds to the bottom line. i also read where several people use a ratshack universal remote too. looking for plain english suggestions not being terribly computer literate. and, i would rather suggestions from this board rather from someone pushing product.
thanks
