You can go to Logitech.com to find out more about it. I think it may be something like a Harmony Logitech 550. I'm not sure right now about the exact number, but maybe I can find it again for you. It contains four flashlight batteries, and software to program it with. I had to have help installing it, because I feel that it wasn't very accessible, but the person who helped me got it to work with five electronic devices in my living room. The more expensive one, the 880, wasn't as user friendly as this one is. That's more for sighted folks. The only advantage to that one is that it had a rechargeable battery. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Noseworthy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC Audio Discussion List" <pc-audio@pc-audio.org> Sent: Tuesday, September 25, 2007 6:21 PM Subject: Re: a computer generated television remote control system.
