I just purchased a Sony HTCT150 Home theatre system and the sony remote isnt compatable with my Toshiba flat panel tv(not even programable outside of Sony tvs). I was curious if there is a remote that anybody knows of that will control my TV, Home theatre, and PS3. Thanks Kert

Any Logitech Harmony, the Sony RM-VLZ620, and the RCA RCRP05B will all work. There are undoubtedly others.

The RCRP05B can be customized to fill in any missing functions, and so I prefer it. <$20 at Best Buy, Walgreens, Sears, etc. (Use Audio 1858 for your Sony HT system.)

Sorry, I just assumed (stupidly) that you already have a IR to Bluetooth adapter or IR to USB adapter for your PS3.

The PS3 isn't controlled by IR-- the remote uses Bluetooth. So no brand of IR remote will work without an adapter. USB based adapters (usually sold together with an IR remote, like Nyko) are cheaper, but won't turn the power on or off. A straight IR to Bluetooth adapter is more expensive.
