OK, my Yamaha reciever remote isnt working correctly anymore. The power button doesnt work. Instead of spending $50 to replace it I am thinking of going with a universal Harmony. I am looking for a basic remote that will control my Yamaha reciever (mainly volume), Samsung DLP, Sony Blu Ray 550, and my cable HD DVR. I have a 1.5 year old that loves throwingt things so one that can take a bit of a beating would be nice. There are so many Harmony models my eyes are spinning. I dont want to spend too much but would like to control what I have listed. I also heard some of the universal remotes have a hard time with Cabel DVR boxes. Does anyone experience problems with that. Also, can I switch my inputs on my reciever with the remote from cable to DVD. Any help would be appreciated.

Edit: I found the Harmony 550 for $65 shipped... Will that suite my needs?
