Comment on Home Theater: Anatomy of 6 Remote Controls, by Steven Castle – Electronic House Info and Answers by JimBo

Harmony remotes are not so inexpensive way to consolidate all your remote controls, but on can not say that they are truly universal. I have worked with and owned about 5 different Harmony remotes, from more basic like 680, all the way to 890PRO, and none have lasted for more than a year, either a charging contact or the battery always went out, and the remotes never did what they were supposed to. Today I own an MX900 from Universal Remote Control, and I couldn’t be happier. After I bought it, I did some basic setup myself, it worked great. But then I had the system installed by UWS, and the guys reprogrammed my remote, it now is simply amazing. Single click and the system does exactly what it should – every time.

I personally use the harmony remote and think it works great! Most computer literate people can program the Harmony via a PC or Mac and unlike similar remotes, you don’t need to hire a pro to get everything up and running.

Comment on Ultimate Tailgating Trailer – Now At Your Local Sam’s! by Streamline Systems

Wow! I want one!!! Only $35,000? I could cough that up next summer! Yeah right I wish. I do think a trailer with all that stuff would great for a road trip but I don’t think you will see the average family with one. I’m surprised to hear this comes from Sams Club. I wonder how good that sound system is.

I’ve been an HDTV owner for six years and during that time, I’ve assisted about two dozen friends in their HDTV home theater setups. I’ve just upgraded to the Samsung LN52B750 and I couldn’t be happier. For reference, I’m upgrading from a Samsung DLP and I own another Samsung LCD HDTV.

Do you have an XBOX360 yet? If yes, you can do some awesome streaming off of your media center pc and a couple of streaming programs. Let me know if you do and I will post the software names. Thanks
