Does the harmony bluetooth pair with firetv as a remote?

I could never get it to work with my Sony GTV. It does work with a PS3 and maybe even the WiiU. I decided not to keep it as I didn't care for the placement of certain playback buttons. Nice remote though.

I find that the FLIRC and any remote works great. That is the route I use but with a Harmony One.

Since Father's day is approaching, I'd like to get a universal remote for FireTV. I'd like to mothball my TV remote and a original MCE remote too. I have the Ortech IR blaster, will either the Harmony 650 or 700 do what I need? I need to stay well south of $200.

I have tried the Harmony Ultimate and currently use a Harmony One and a Harmony 659. I also have their Smart Control which I consists of the ir blasting base that comes with the Ultimate as well as a basic remote.

My recommendation would be to use FLIRC and either the 650 or 700 Harmony. That should be way less than your budget. The FLIRC will work with your current remote if you don't mind staying with it. The FLIRC learns the remote and not the other way around. Great product and it's very well priced.
