The Bottom Line The Home Theater Master MX-500 may not look very futuristic or cool, but it can control every function on every piece of gear you own. The URC Digital R50's successful combination of good ergonomics, solid design, and easy programmability makes it a good alternative to Logitech Harmony universal remotes. While it's missing an RF option, Logitech's Harmony One is one of the best--if not the best--universal remote we've ever tested. The Logitech Harmony 900 is, hands down, the best universal remote control we've ever tested. Designing its first universal remote, Logitech takes a nice step forward with the Harmony 880.
