Thanks a lot Bobones for all the info on those Harmony remotes. Look very nice but I actually realised it was a similar concept to a similar unit I have called a Griffin, which does not have its own remote but uses your smart phone or iPad Bluetooth connection to it and sends out a strong IR signal to your equipment. I can train the Griffin for any remote IR system I need and can have many different configurations stored in it. The iPhone/iPad app for it is free too and very good but the Griffin box system was quite expensive being I seem to remember over US$100 when I brought it a few years ago (never gets used these days tough I must blow off the cobwebs and try to use it again)
