So I plan on making a HTPC for my living room this summer. Never done this before, and just wanted some feedback.
My main concern, is reducing the amount of remotes I use. This just isn't for convenience for myself, but for friends and family who want to be able to easily be able to watch a movie, netflix, tv or, PS3, with minimal fuss.
Is there any good set up recommendations for ease of use? Such as a good universal remote that can handle TV's and PC's, and navigate through Windows perhaps? Also, is there a Blue Ray/DVD drive you can install in a PC that can be controlled via universal remote of some kind? I've been doing some research on the Logitech Harmony, and that seems like something that would be ideal. I understand most remotes like this won't run for the PS3 though, at least that's what I've read.
But again, I've never done this before, and want as much feedback as I can before I start. So, any tips, advice, etc is appreciated.
