Logitech Harmony Universal Remote Controls

[fryKing]

I have one and I think it's sweet. I previously had a "regular" universal remote, which was impossbile for anyone else to use ("ok, so when watching tivo M1 is skip...")

I had a Phillips Pronto, which was easy to use but huge and it broke, and now this. I have the model Astro recommended.

You can set it not to turn things off automatically on a device by device basis. I have it not turn off my cable box or XBOX 360, for example, but it does turn my dvd player and stereo on and off as appropriate.
