Interlink, a company who apparently is a large OEM remote maker, is the first company to announce a SideShow remote. The beauty of this remote is that small bits of MCE data will make it back to the remote. Things like recorded shows, guide data etc will be available for browsing on the remote. I am awaiting Harmony's attempt and […]
Read moreAfter having the Harmony 880 for just over a year now, I don't think I could go back to a cheaper universal remote. Having a 880 for every TV in the house might be a bit impractical, so something like the Sony RM-VL600 might be a more economical solution. For a scant twenty five dollars you get a a remote […]
Read moreYay! A remote article, my favorite type 😉 RemoteShoppe, the purveyor of fine remote reviews, has a holiday gift guide up for ya'all. Not surprisingly, Harmony was the gift of choice in more then one category. From the article: BEST TOUCHSCREEN REMOTE Universal Electronics' Nevo SL This was the most difficult recommendation because the NevoSl and the URC MX3000 are […]
Read moreMonster has tiptoed into the input and HA worlds with their release of the AVL300. A quick glance at the shape and button layout makes me think that this would be uncomfortable for day to day use.

Would you spend $200 extra for a remote that can control your lights? That's the question Monster is hoping you'll say yes to. It's a slightly redesigned Harmony 890 remote, with some home automation (ok, just lights) thrown in. It's cool for sure, but are you gonna drop $600 on this? A brand new plasma (or LCD if that's your […]

And the world breathes a sigh of relief to know that Microsoft hasn't completely lost their mind. If you recall, we (and about every HTPC website) posted pictures of a horribly ugly remote back at Digital Life, and some thought that would be the Vista remote spec. Luckily, it wasn't true, and Long Zheng posts what he believes is the […]
Read moreThe basic $9.99 universal remote from Radio Shack really doesn't cut it in the Home Theater environment. Certainly it is an improvement over handling multiple remote but its unlikely to win any "favours" from your significant other. The Harmony line of remotes from Logitech doesn't quite step into the HA realm (yes I know about the 890), but it does […]
Read moreCE Pro copntinues their hot EHX coverage with a talk with Harmony and their Harmony 890 control. Is this remote worth 10 more of the 880? Well you will have to watch the YouTube video to find out. Here are a few hints, it retails for about a 100 more dollars that its sibling, it supports RF and has X10 […]

Ok, so not exactly the look of a Series 3, but you can at least show off with the Series 3 remote which does look mighty snazzy. At $50 though, it's definitely cutting close to Logitech's sexy universal offerings, just won't say TIVO on it 🙂 TiVo’s remote control designer points out enhancements versus the standard Series2 model: Fully backlit […]
