astroglide,
Wow, thanks. First step for me, buying that remote.

Yeah, I went with the
Harman Kardon TC-30, which is basically the same as one of the other Harmony's, and it was easily my favorite purchase of my setup.
Having one thing to control all devices at the same time, when you have 4 components, is great. Plug it into your computer, and it walks you through the selection of your compnents, etc. The LCD screen on it is also programmable, so for my DVR function for example I have it display MyDVR, OnDemand, page up page down, etc. Switch to the DVD player and it shows other functions instead (haven't messed with all of those yet).
I thought spending that much on a remote would be sort of a waste, but it's well worth it for the convienence factor.
I just got the Slingbox as well, waiting on the ethernet bridge package so I can hook that up next.
