Here is a list of my components.

Panasonic 65" Plasma TH-65PX600U
DVDO VP50 Scaler (will be used for all video and audio switching)
Yamaha receiver
TWO HD Directv Tivo's (I would like to control two of them, one in a different room)
Momitsu V330N DVD Player
Xbox (original Xbox with remote control adapter, running XBMC)

Possibly would like control for
Xbox 360


I want a simple and easy to use remote. We do a lot of channel surfing on the Tivo's and I have found the LDC Screen type remotes to be cumbersome and difficult to program.

Needs:
1. Macro's to power everything on, hand video/audio switching
2. Would like to be able to use a 2nd directv hd tivo in another room - (just on the other side of a wall, easy to run an IR extender there if necessary)
3. MUST BE WIFE FRIENDLY. I need to be able to show her once how to use it and for her to be able to use it.

Notes: I have always liked the simple and easy to use Tivo Peanut remote. I think hard button is better.

Harmony and Univsersal Remote Control seem like two that may work for me.

Anyone here with some difinitive ideas or suggestions?

URC MX900

IR routing for your TiVo's

Completely customizable.



Do you plan on programming it yourself?

I had a pronto in the past and spend hours and hours programming it. It got to the point where I spend more time programming it then using it. And in the end it ended up collecting dust.

If it is easy to program, I don't mind doing it. Why do you ask?

I agree that the MX-900 is a great remote. If you are interested, we also offer programming services, which will make it incredibly easy to use.

Feel free to call me for a free consultation at: (914) 509-5360.



Thank you,
