Best one for all remote

Had a Kameleon one for all remote for years but since bought a Humax box and a new Samsung LED TV and it's no longer compatible and looking for a remote that will do everything my Sammy and Hummy remote does plus operate my DVD recorder and CD player. Only need to control 4 devices. Any suggestions?

    I used the five device 7556 (black variant of the silver 7555 model) for many years until I wore the buttons out and switched to a Harmony 555. You may want to also look at the Harmony 300 which is an inexpensive and popular choice.

    If the Humax is an HD recorder, you should be able to set its remote to control the TV and DVD/BD. The fourth button is for audio but I don't know if that equates to a standalone CD player.

    The latest boxes don't have multifunction remotes.

    The base level Logitech Harmony is likely to be the best option for the OP

    I love my Harmony 555. Best remote I've ever had. I'm not sure what I'll do if it gives up the ghost as I'm put off the newer rechargeable models by what I've heard is a poor battery life.

    It's a shame as I love the concept of holding all of your settings in the cloud. I don't mind spending a few hours setting up when I know that my settings are safe.

    I like that however when I replaced my Harmony the software wouldn't transfer custom keys to a different device (a different model) - I thought that was the whole point and so was very disappointed.

    Perhaps time to stock up on a few spare 555's?

    That's a shame. I wondered how compatible it would be across devices.
