If you haven't looked at the new remotes, don't go by past history to describe them. The Harmony Elite can control via IP and they have more of this coming, including Denon and AppleTV, next month.

They do track states, just not in the same way as others and it's not shown in the same way. The Help function is part of this and it does work. I have a customer who can't use a Harmony 650 but he loves the Elite. In one case, the wife, who freely admits that she's a technical bozo, called to say that she had to talk her husband off the ledge when he couldn't operate the Master BR system. Took me a few minutes to turn on the power amp (it has audio sense), set the receiver's speaker output to A and try every function. He says he likes to build computers. Good for him!
