+1 on the Harmony remotes. I have the 900, which is the RF remote. Works great
I have had 2 harmony 900 remotes for 5 years now with 0 problems.

cant imagine anyone hating a harmony. the database is so extensive i haven't found a device yet that wasnt covered.
it takes all of 5 minutes to create a macro for anything more complicated than turning shite on.
i have a drawer full of remotes in the back room of the house that i laugh when i open because i can't imagine trying to use and keep track of all of them.
your config is stored in the cloud so if the remote dies, just buy another & connect to logitech online and everything gets downloaded to your new remote.
it handles all my shite; chromecast, wdtv, xbox, DISH and AVR FLAWLESSLY.
bonus that you can do things like have it automatically MUTE or set the volume low when its turning everything on.
how can anyone bitch about a harmony?

In addition, I have macros that run each room's systems in the house, including XBOX One and my multi-zone sound system. I even have it programmed so that when I'm watching something, if my phone rings, it turns down the sound, pauses live TV, then I answer the phone. When I'm done with my call, it pauses 10 seconds to give me time to end the call, and set my phone down. Then it starts to play and sound ramps back up to the previous level over a five second interval so I don't get blasted as soon as it starts playing.
I still have a cheap Harmony in each room for when the in-laws are over, and for my 7 year old.
