I am looking for an automatic remote control system. I have the following setup:
Flat screen tv
Sky+
PS3
digital TV (BFBS - rubbish apart from the free sports channels)
and Multi region DVD
The sound on the TV is switched off, I route all sound through a 5.1 surround system using optical feeds for the Sky and PS3 and RCA for the dvd. It is a bit of a pain switching between different inputs, first the TV then the sound and of course changing the settings for sound dynamics.
Does anyone know of a system that will allow me to press one button for TV, DVD, etc instead of all those different buttons?
ta in advance :y

The Symphony remotes iirc had strange macro programming. Not sure if still available, might be work a look?
You connected them to PC to do the programming.

Depends how much you want to spend from a simple 3 in 1 remote ctrol and programable remote all the way to the home automation where you press one button, the curtains close, the lights go out, the screen comes down and on goes the projector.
