I have like 4 remotes that i use on the regular. I have a remote for my sony stereo which i use as my surround sound, my cable remote, my TV remote and my XBOX remote. . . the thing that would be the kicker would be the XBOX remote.... the first 3 im sure are fine... but are there any learning remotes that would work with all of those?

thanks!

I wouldn't get the expensive harmony, although it is cool. They all use the same device database and can do the same thing for your purposes. Just get a cheaper 70ish dollar one.

Found a 525 with Froogle for $46. Is the 525 any good? Do the lesser remotes do less tasks or something/ Main ones I want is an easy way to turn on Zone 2 on the receiver and turn on and control the cd player, and to change volume on zone 2 easily, and then to easily control zone 1 volume with the sat box.
