    Ok, here's there equipment:
    - Technomate 1500 (incl dragon cam for ch4 etc)
    - Panasonic TV
    - Mediapc using Microsoft MCE remote
    - Panasonic DVD player (not used too often, so not important)
    - Bush (I think) DVB-T receiver box, hoping to replave this with a DVB-T capable TV in the near future.

    I'm looking for a mutli remote that can control it all, but in a nice way. I have a One4All 6 (I think) which is horrible to use.

    Preferably I'd like to get one that has more modern specifics, like an EPG button, "i" or Info button etc. Almost like the Sky remote. Which is a nice remote in itself.

    Oh, and lastly, I'd prefer a remote that is tactile, ie has actual buttons, over one that has a touch sensitive screen/pad. And preferably the buttons would be backlit (pity the MCE remote doesn't do more, as it really is gorgeous and lovely to use).

    Logitech Harmony (the high end one)is your man.

    No touch screen (I've been there, thats a disaster) RF transmitter so you're not waving it at the equipment and you can put it all somewhere else. Its not just simple macros, it remembers what state all the devices are in. Altough you need a computer to program it, but once thats finished, you're good to go. Oh and there are nice sky-like buttons (guide, prev etc.)

    Or this one

    Thanks for the suggestions lads. But at €260 (:eek:) the top end Harmony seems a tad expensive!

    Anyone got any opinions on the cheaper ones? Ideally I'd like to keep the outlay to under €100.

    I have one of the high end Harmony's myself and couldnt live without it!

    If you cant afford a high end one why not get the 525, its only €80 delivered from Komplett
