Hi guys, as you can see,

the time has come for a multi-remote, I've had a little google but there are sooooo many on the market that I'm not sure which ones are best, so can anyone here recommend me a decent multi-remote with learning ability for £50< please.

Logitech Harmony for sure :

The 555 is supposed to be a good remote. I havent got one but imconsidering it.

You want a Pronto

Harmonys are ok but not a full replacement, i had one and got rid.

I just use the sky remote to control the sky box + volume on amp. If i need anything more in depth i get the proper device remote out from the cupboard.

OT : I guess you stuck with the Yammy amp in the end, did you change the speakers ??

They are not <£50 as the OP wants.

I have a harmony 525 which works fine with everything apart from the Telewest box.

I've got the Harmony 885 and it's a great piece of kit, thoroughly recommended.

Pronto

, think I'll pass on that for now

, I'll look into getting cheap Harmony for now,

OT : Yeh, I purchased the Onkyo but I really did'nt feel it was a big upgrade in sound tbh, the real bug bear though was how hot it got, if it was'nt for that then I would have kepted it, as for the speakers they've really grown on me, I brought a cheap stereo Nad amp off the bay just to tide me over atm the moment while I save up for a decent AV amp, I've auditiond a few recently and the Arcam receivers with thier smooth more laid back sound definitly seem to suit the B&W's best, what about you ? , did you ever upgrade your amp ?
