Looking for a decent All in one touch screen controller (TV, blue ray, Sky) ....

[Zonda]

Does anyone have a decent touch screen all in one remote you can recommend? thanks.

It's not 100% touch screen but the Logitech Harmony One is a great bit of kit.

I have a logitech harmony too, pretty decent

Another vote for the Harmony One. My brother has the Harmony 1000 which is more touch screen and very good but not cheap!!

the harmony 1000 is pap, far too slow and the volume buttons fail all the time, i have the harmony 1100, its immense. shouldnt be that expensive nowadays either.

Marantz used to make some brillinat ones, though I've been out the industry 6 years so not sure what current offerings they have as its one of the things I havent bothered keeping an eye on.

The good Marantz were re branded Phillips Pronto's iirc. They were also expensive. I also read the other day that Phillips are stopping to make them now.

Not quite, they were phillips pronto hardware but marantz software, and it was different. Certainly expensive, but at the time there wasnt much else that was as powerful for the money. Loved mine!

I didn't know that about them. As you say at the time they were both very good and still are. They still fetch good money on ebay.

Harmony one looks just what I was after, thanks guys!

Just a bit pricey still.. amazon was not far short of £300.

My brothers had his about 2 years now without any problems.

I've still got mine. The batteries don't last long at all in it, which is why I stepped over to the Harmony. Great toy though, might have a look on eBay to see what it'll fetch!

Yeah not all will fail but thousands have! Logitech replaced my 1000 with a 1100 free of charge as it was a known fault, check the forums there are countless posts about the 1000 going tits up. It also relies on java as opposed to the flash os on the 1100 which is why it's so sluggish.

I had the docking station so batteries were never an issue. I had loads of sequence commands set up, it was brilliant.
