Hi all,

I know this has been asked a 1000 times but just wanting to double check my setup will work and what is 100% required.

Next week I shall be putting the new TV on the wall, my plan is to have all of the equipment in the cupboard that backs onto the partition wall. I am running new coax, cat 6 and sorting the electrics this weekend.

My question is, what remote will be able to control all my devices?
Kit list:

LG TV
Sky HD
Sony BD
Rpi running Openelec
Onkyo Amp

I am presuming I will be looking for a device that transmits via RF rather than IR ?
 
Yes if no line of sight you would need either a RF to IR remote , though would also potentially need IR as well for the TV.

So of the current models Harmony Elite though you may get some older models at a lower cost
 
Yes, any Harmony that converts IR to RF and back again will do fine, as you get the option to set how each device is controlled, direct by IR or through RF.
A 900 is my recommendation though any of the more recent ones will be adequate.
