Im looking to spend about 100-150.. needs to operate panasonic TV and 5 disc dvd player, pioneer stereo, and directv dvr. Prefer something that has computer aided setup as i change things on a whim sometimes. The coolness factor scores high with me but i do prefer buttons to touchscreen and the basics have to be wife friendly.

Post under "Which Remote Should I Buy?" for a reccomendation.

well i will add it there also, but put it here looking for a used one.. seems to make sense.

OK...I thought you were looking for a reccomendation rather than an actual offer. It makes a bit more sense after your edit of the first post.

Do you need RF capability?

RF not needed.

Here are my components:

Panasonic TV (older widescreen)
Panasonic 5 disk DVD player
Pioneer stereo
Directv R15 PVR

Discreet codes and macros are the biggest factors for me. Along with some programmable buttons because I seem to use 3 of the 4 colored buttons alot on the directv remote. The most emphasis would be on the remote being set up well with the directv as most everything else is turn-on and forget (other than changing to the proper source for the activity i am doing)

I have a used T2 with a brand new battery. I was selling it for more , but if you want it you can have it for $150. The software is right here in remote central. If you want RF down the line, you should take the IRF-6 processor as well - You can have both for $275. Look into my posting (Remotes for trade) and let me know.

i'll let you know in the next 2 days, i think i am going with the harmony 880 though

Then why would you buy a Harmony, you can't change anything on it. look for a URC 700...

i have a demo 800, no mrf200 though. $110
