[AFMUG] OT: Universal Remotes

[Nate Burke]

I'm still using a PC to do a lot of the video on my home theater setup.  
My favorite universal remote ever, the Gyration, which could do the 
whole home theater, plus was a wireless Gyro mouse, has been 
discontinued for years.  On the 3rd party refurb market, they're going 
for $130+.  I think I paid like $40 for it new when they were being 
made.    I've been through 2 Logitech-harmony remotes recently, but they 
both have buttons that start randomly breaking. Currently the vol UP 
button is temperamental, and the on/off sometimes decides to work.  I'm 
guessing some of you still use a media center PC, what are you using for 
controls?  Needs to control TV (on/off, Inputs), Stereo (on/off, Volume, 
Inputs), and PC menus.

I'm not mean to my remotes, it physically looks perfect, and I always 
store them on a coffee table.  I must have bad luck, or buttons just 
suck now.
