Ok, so I have a 60' LG plasma, onkyo txnr 1008, logitech revue, xbox 360 slim with hddvd player, Motorola dcx 3400 dvr, Panasonic dbm 85 BLURAY, and Htpc with usb uirt. On the Htpc I want to be able to control xbmc, tmt, pdvd, zinc, boxee, hulu, Netflix, wmc7, mpc-HC.

My main concern is the Htpc, getting a remote to work with every function inside all those players and media centres. But I also want to put away all my other remotes and be able to control everything else too. I could live with 2 remotes if I had to.

Trust me I didn't just come on here without researching, I've spent tens and tens of hours researching this but thought this would be an excellent source of information. Here's what I'm thinking. Harmony one, gyration air music remote, logitech mini denovo, usb- uirt, eventghost/girder. Oh also zv remote.

You have a fairly long list of devices to control and I was thinking along the lines of Harmony One too.
I'm looking for the ONE.

I would reccomend something a little mo advanced than a Harmony. Take a look at URC 2-way remotes which are very good at providing feedback and control of a media center PC. In addition, they provide a far better user experience than any Harmony and can be customized to a much higher degree. This is the professional line so you need an installer/programmer but it would save you the money of outgrowing your Harmony in a couple of months.
