    Hi, I'm looking for any recommendations for a programmable remote control for:

    TV, X-box, UPC dvr, dvd player (BOSE 1,2,3 system)

    Any help gratefully appreciated.

    Logitech Harmony ONE (€99 I believe in Currys?) is well regarded.

    Maybe a Philips Pronto if you wanna spend much more?

    I have a Philips Prestigo and a Harmony One. The Harmony One is the one to go for, no contest.

    Yeah, ordered one through Peats so awaiting it's arrival. Quite sad to be excited about getting a new remote control.

    I got the Harmony 1100 . A great device but it may be a bit big for some peoples liking.

    Nice. A bit over my budget though. Looks like you can do most everything with the 1100. Can't wait to get my hands on my simple Harmony One.

    @ Blastman: Just got my Harmony One, if I even move it slightly theres a rattle from the inside (It's not from the buttons). Just wondering if your one does the same?? Could it be a tilt sensor??

    Seems like it is the tilt sensor. My bad, should go back to using google before posting on boards rather then the other way around.

    Yeah, there is a tilt sensor as the device comes on when you pick it up. I've never actually heard mine, mind you.
