Hi all.
I'm currently trying to decide wether to get a URC200 or H628 for my home theater setup. I'll end up getting two based on these suggestions, one for my living room and one for my theater. The living room has a Panasonic reciever, Zenith dvd player (which doesn't get used much) and HTPC running mythtv, along with Syntax TV. I currently use a wireless IR keyboard. My theater has the same HTPC setup along with a pre-amp and Infocus projector. So pretty much all my sources route through my HTPC.

I'm trying to decide which remote will integrate with my setup better. I can get both for similar prices from Amazon. There seem to be some negative threads regarding the URC software which doesn't bode well. I got my parents a Harmony 620 and it works great (but their setup is much less complex, without the HTPC). I'm just worried I won't get it to interface with my HTPC. Can anyone offer any insight as to which would work better in my situation? As long as it can learn IR keyboard commands (or even be programmed) the rest of the stuff shouldn't be too bad since I don't often change sources. Just need stuff like power and volume.

Anyway, sorry to ramble and thanks for any tips!

Dave
