www.logitech.co.uk/harmony I think,

there's a test drive so you can try out the software, they have nearly
everything on there, some truly obscure stuff!

All activity based stuff so it remembers whats turned on or not so if
you watching tv and press watch dvd it remembers that your tv and amp
is turned on and just changes the inputs for example,

the support is freephone and they actually know what they are talking
about!! :)

the 885 is fantastic, if a little expensive, tbh doesn't do a massive
amount over and above the cheaper ones, the softwares the same, it
just has colour screen, more screen edge buttons and a rechargeable
battery and a docking station which is reason enough in my book :)

www.avforums.com the remotes section is very good for info too.
