I'm looking for a remote that can turn on and set up to watch/play with the press of one or two buttons. For example, press TV to turn on the TV and cable box and change to the proper TV input. Everything is in one room so the remote does not need to work outside of this room (through walls etc.). I've been reading about the Harmony remotes and the R50. Seems like the R50 may do this? Can't tell from the reviews if it truly does this or if you have to drill down to press the button for this funtionality? The Harmony One seems like the remote I'd want - the reviews for the 880 and some of the other Harmony remotes seem to be negative for their durability.

Here is my list of components:
Vizio LCD TV
Sony DVD player
Verizon FIOS cable box/DVR
Nintendo Wii
Denon Surround Sound Receiver
Sony CD Player

I'm not sure I want to spend the money for the Harmony One. I'd like to keep it under $120 if possible.

Any suggestions or input?

Thanks!
