My old Harmony SST-659 universal remote control is just about to take a crap on me. I'm looking for any recommendations to upgrade the current one I have. I want something easy to use & program.

I know there are so many brands out there, but I need something not too expensive. Maybe one or two steps down from the top of the line. Thanks.

Take a looky there, we use them for just about everything. Jay programs and I wire it into the system.

Some nice stuff so far.......

Shweet ! Although any idea on pricing for em? I was going to go the Universal MX-3000 route, but these look quite tempting. :)

Can you confirm solid combatibility with TiVo?

I always liked the Philips Pronto models.

If you liked how the harmony worked, but want something that works similar but without all the quirks check out the Universal Remote MX-810.

I have the MX-900 which does more, but is a bear to program. This is probably what I would have gotten had it been out at the time.

Harmony 670. Its much like the 659, but with added controls for a Tivo/DVR. Also, since you already have a harmony account for your 659 you can use the same account to program your 670, there is an upgrade remote feature.
BTW, I have the 880 (color unit), a 676 and a 628. The 880 looks pretty but the 676 is my favorite for everyday use. The 670 is a lot like the 676.
You can pick up the 670 on ebay or Amazon for about 100 bucks.

I have the Harmony 1000 touch screen, and you use your computer to link with their website, input your equipments model #'s, and you are set. Takes a couple hours to set up, but when you change equipment as often as I do it's a pain. Cost over 500.00 at Bestbuy, but if you are interested it would take 350.00. Got the box, reciept, software, etc.
