All in one remote - X10, TV, MCE

Hi

I am looking for an all-in-one remote that controls X10 (domia) modules as well as media centre. Obviously there is the harmony one but I am looking something a little cheaper, possibly around the £60 mark. I have been looking for ages but google results are a little indeterminate due to the key search terms.

Thanks.

Re: All in one remote - X10, TV, MCE

After several more hours of searching, I have settled on the Harmony 785. Does anyone know why this might not be suitable? Thanks.

Re: All in one remote - X10, TV, MCE

x-10 works on RF not IR so you will either need a remote that transmits both or use a X10 to IR convetor, I am not sure if the Harmony model does this?

Or you could look at using the standard MCE remote and some MCE based home automation software to control your lights via the MCE Menu such as,
