So this is what I'm trying to figure out. I've got slingtv, Tivo with Clear stream antenna hooked up, Kodi with Channel Pear, and a IPTV PVR running on a Firetv, An AppleTV.


So, I want a remote that can control all of these and have a single guide. I know that sounds crazy, but I saw some ipvue stuff on Kodi and read you could add channels from different add-on's into it.

Any ideas?

I don't know about the others, but isn't the FireTV Bluetooth-only, while Apple TV is IR-only? You could buy a Flirc to give the FireTV IR capabilities, or if you had a WMC system, it's possible to cobble something together that uses adb to send the commands over TCP/IP with the help of Autohotkey. I do the latter with a FireTV stick. It doesn't respond as fluidly as the supplied Bluetooth remote, but it does let me operate the stick using my universal IR remote.

Logitech Harmony is the end all be all, thread-ending answer.

Got it running my SmartTV Functions and normal TV functions for my LG, along with my Cox Contour DVR, my Apple TV, and my Sony Soundbar.

My Logitech handles it all flawlessly.
