This thing is amazing. You plug it into your computer, then they take you to their web-based configuration tool. It first asks you what brand and model of components you have. For me it was a TV, receiver, HD cable box/DVR, DVD player, and an MP3 server.
They have a database of all the IR codes for thousands of devices, so they create “activities” on the remote automatically. When you press “Watch TV,” it automatically turns on the TV, sets it to the right input, turns on the cable box, and you’re done.
Not sure if I would have bought it outright at $250, but it was “free” with the Best Buy reward certificates and the $200 rebate from the HDTV we bought a while back.
