I was wondering if anyone had any info about whether there are any possible alternatives to the fugly universal remote made by microsoft and the harmony 360 remote from logitech.

What I would like to do is buy the Sony RMAX1400 (this (http://www.smarthome.com/80355.html) remote) and have it learn the basic 360 functions from the 360 media remote. Does anyone know if it would be possible? I'm guessing not, but I figured I'd at least ask since I didn't see this kind of thing with a search.

Do you not like any of the Harmony remotes? I have the 880 and use it with my 360.

I just really didn't want to pay what they're asking for most of them. The 550 starts at 130 I believe. 99 if you catch it on sale. They're great remotes though.

I've never seen the 550 for that price. It's actually $58.88 on Amazon right now.

Wow. Thanks guys. I've never seen it that low. At least not in brick and mortar stores.
