    Hey I currently need to use 4 remotes to control various devices connected to my tv.

    Sky+HD box - 1 remote
    Apple TV - 1 remote
    Sony PS3 soundbar - 1 remote connected with digital
    Sony Bravia KDL-40EX503U - 1 remote (needed to switch to different inputs etc)

    Is there anyway of utilising just 1 remote or device. Hellllpppp

    I had a similar problem, wanted a remote to control TV, Sky, AV amp, DVD player, got one of these for my iPhone, but works on iPod touch and (much better on) iPad:

    Paid €35 inc P+P on offer from http://www.blitzme.ie/ on joe.ie

    Best bit is you can create your own remote control for each room, with buttons to control most used functions of each unit on one screen.
    I have a Logitech Harmony 525 too, but it's a bit of a pain having to switch between devices on it.

    I would also second A-plus for the logitech harmony remote, they do a ONE model which is good value & the data base of new products to control is updated all the time.
    Best of luck with it.
