The harmony debate is getting pretty old around here.

A. This is not the harmony you remember from the early 2000's so just stop. The Harmony Elite/Pro are modern products with a robust device database. I did a sonos surround system with a couple of sources. It took me about 30 minutes to program. Name one product that you can do that with for under $500.

B. No its not Crestron or Control 4 or URC or RTI. You can't perfectly tame it. It's at least half the cost of some customizable products and like an 1/8th of other 1 room control system solutions.

Thats it. Period. If you are hanging and banging a TV with $5k or less of electronics this is (or should be) your go to budget option.
