This is another way to go But with the TiVo and PS3, this would be redundant. TiVo streams movies and TV shows from iTunes while TiVo streams from Netflix and blockbuster(coming soon) PS3 streams anything from your hard disk. Than being, even from iTunes but you need to download it to the HD first

You need a universal remote. But do you need this one? Not necessarily unless you need RF What can you do with RF, you can put this entire system behind closed doors and control this with this remote It would be the best setup but it would need modifications to your living room as in you would need a closet to put all this and use this in wall wiring to route the cables to the TV

Per say, all the Logitech remotes are the same except for these. 1. RF (but most of us don't use RF) 2. Touch screen (I don't miss this) So rest is all the same except for the button layout and the no of device you can control I wnt for this cos I don't have more than 5 devices to control (PS3 needs a BT remote) The button layout is spot on with additional color button which most TV has.
