First to straight some things up, the remote has no radio technology other than Ethernet. So it is not possible to do "radio control".

If you are a Do-it-your-selfer, on a tight budget and accepting that some things will never work perfectly the remote is the one to choose. However if you can spend some more money and you want things to work flawlessly, than you should not buy this one. All in all, looking to your equipment it should not be a problem to program the remote, but if the system becomes more complicated (as probably in your new house) it is more cumbersome to get things working.

Because you cannot "program" the remote (with software) and therefore not customize you stuck with the user interface of the philips designers. Most of the things have been well thought off, but some things not. And it doesn't look like there will be a firmware update so we have to stick with the user interface.

Best regards,
