Harmony remotes are one of the best universal remotes available thanks to their ease of use and Activities, where you can program the remote based on the things you do, such as Watch TV or Listen to Music. Logitech has just unveiled an entry level remote at just $149. You can control up to 6 devices, and it comes with rechargeable batteries (although you will need to plug it through the USB port as there is no dedicated charging cradle). For a review of how Harmony remotes function, read my post about Harmony One.
