Advantages: Control many devices using Infrared - easy to setup Disadvantages: Can't control bluetooth or FM devices
The LogitechHarmony 525 AdvancedUniversalRemote is used to control multiple devices in audio and visual systems (ie your tv, video, digital box, music players etc)
Currently we use one to control an AV receiver, digital box and projector. Personally i think this is the best one i've used.
Although initially to set up takes a bit of time
(you have to load a program onto a computer and then add devices to the remote using the provided usb cable),
the time it saves in day to day use and the practicality of one remote makes it a worthwhile task.
If there is not a system listed that you want to control it has a neat feature which allow you to add other 'unknown' remote signals - its so easy - you just tell it you're going to add an 'unknown' and then point the 'unknown' systemsremote at the logitechremote and it asks ...
Advantages: Simple to use, great interface, simple to program Disadvantages: None
