Hello all!
I have HTPC setup with 3 devices as below:
- TV: LG
- AMP: Yamaha
- HTPC: with Windows Media Center
I control this setup with Microsoft Remote Control model 1039
It excellent at controlling my HTPC, very fast and perfect. It can also switch on/off my TV. But it cannot really control my AMP. I have to manually switch AMP on/off. So, it is time to upgrade the remote.
Minimum requirements I want:
- Backlit
- Long battery life
- Fast - no input lag like on Harmony remotes.
- Control 3 devices
- TV: Switch on/off
- AMP: Switch On/Off
- AMP: Volume control
- HTPC: Sleep/Wake Up
- HTPC: Windows Media Center control
Optional but nice to have requirements:
1. AMP: to control some other functions like switching between Stereo and 5.1 sound stages.
I studied many options. Harmony looks interesting but it has input lag and it is not very cheap. then I saw OneForAll remote in the shop and the question is - can it fulfill my requirements above?
