Best Universal Remote?

nileriver23

I am thinking about purchasing a universal remote. However, I do not want to spend too much on it. I was thinking about getting this one http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2155680&SRCCODE=CNETFEED&cm_mmc_o=2mHCjC2WHaCjCVqHCjCdwwp. I feel that it is just a really good deal. Also, I do not have too many devices that I would be needing it for. Please let me know if you guys think I should get it or not.

Thanks.

Thanks for the help. I heard that one problem with the remote is lag. However, from what I was reading, the user was experiencing this lag while operating Windows Media Center. I was wondering if you have noticed any lag while you were operating it, and if you have tried to use it to run WMC.

Thanks.

I also have the harmony 880, I use it to turn everything on and for simple commands: vol, chn, subtitle, menu, etc.

I don't use it if I had to really control the receiver, or get into the settings part of my components.

I also never use it to watch TV the channel button is really ackward to use.

I have not experience any lag when using my remote.

I was thinking about getting the Harmony One, but this looks like a really good deal!
