Help with advise for a good remote - Blu-ray Forum

neos_peace · 08-27-2008, 02:23 AM

I recently tried geting a universal remote to control my tv bluray and sat dvr box. I got the tv to operate from it but failed on everything else. Id like to know what kind and where i can get a universal remote that will control my tv, dvr sat box, and my bluray player, maybe even my home theater system. Any idea's. My purchase power is around $20. I live in PA, any help is great. This is the brand of things that I have.

TV=50" full HD Plasma Hitachi
Dish Network DVR Sat Box
Bluray player=Samsung BD-P1400
Audio System=1200 Matrix audio Concepts system.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Not to sure what the prices are like over there, but Logitech has some good Universal remotes that seem to controll everything. I have a freeview box and i found it in the software and it works perfectly...

Like i say though not to sure what the prices are like...

Harmony 670, 880, 890, 1000, or One are some of the best remotes available.

get what you pay for...

I didn't notice that part. For $20 Universal has some decent remotes, I am not sure at the price though.

I suggest a Logitech harmony remote. I have the 880. It works everything except the PS3(since it's bluetooth), but that is a minor inconvenience. I only have to use 2 remotes now instead of the 11 I was using before.

So what you are all saying Is in order to get a good universal remote that will also control bluray, I'm gonna have to dip some money into it. more then $20. What would you all say I should spend on a decent remote then.

the logitech remotes are great you can find good pricing on them on amazon. They have a 550 for $80. and 880 for $100. and the harmony one for $189.
