Hello, I presently have a Logitech Harmony 510 that works pretty good except for...when I try to go from television to watch a movie or vice versa, it rarely gets the TV input right seeing as my Polaroid HD tv has so many inputs. And, there are no keys assigned to inputs, rather it opens up a menu and either goes up or down the list of inputs. So...is there any other remote that can actually read the inputs and pick the correct one or am I delusional? I like the Logitech setup, it's really nice to set everything up on your computer. Thanks.

Hmmm? Perhaps no one knows or there are no remotes that can identify the input state?

Not with a Polaroid TV, you eaither need discrete commands or 2-way feedback, neither of which is available on basic TV's.

SOME models of Polaroid TV have discrete inputs which can be controlled without toggles. Which do you have?

JoeFlabitz, Sorry I didn't respond till now but I didn't know there was another response. I have a Polaroid 32" FLM-323B...it was one of the first ones they came out with I believe.

Look like that model is toggle only for inputs (URC TV Code 507).

Their plasmas (URC codes 356 & 357) both support discrete inputs, but there's no telling if the MIGHT control your set.
