    I loved my Harmony when I had it. Now have the 720 and am just as satisfied with this one.

    I personally have a Universal Remote RF20. It is a great remote, easy to program and you can get it with the radio frequency converter box so that you can control components through walls, cabinets, etc. It is less than $100, sometimes you can get it for about $65 on amazon. Here is the link,

    After using count less remotes about to around $600, this is by far the easeset to use and program, its learning mode is awesome.

    The Harmony 550 and Xbox360 remotes are also excellent but (1) require AAA batteries that need replacing because of the backlit LCD screen rather than a rechargeable lithium-ion battery; (2) have only 4 soft custom label buttons compared to 6 for the 720, or eight for the 880; (3) have a monochrome LCD screen, not color, and it can be hard to read on the 550 (bright blue with black text).

    AAA batteries lasted more than 2 years in my 520 (older rev of 550), so not a big deal.

    Never had problems reading black on blue on 520, but it's really person dependent, I guess.

    I switched from the TSU3000 to the harmony 880. Never been happier. It's easy to use and real easy to program. I got mine new on e-bay for $130.00

    I should mention WHY I like the MX500 - cheap if you're on a budget, great feel and backlighting, my wife picked it up and started using it with no questions - high WAF - Chris

    Ya, I think this is the only product that I wish had a low WAF.Now, with the new remote, it's easy for her to use my gear:eek: I have mixed emotions about that. I'm glad she is enjoying it, but I worry.

    I got the Harmony 676 for 49 bucks on amazon. It is the best remote I have ever owned. Would have paid twice that had I known how easy they are and how great they work.
