My Logitech Harmony Elite is getting a bit flaky, in particular changing channel or activity when I put it down so I need to start thinking about a replacement as Logitech are no longer in the market.

Any suggestions from the group as to what to look at?

SofaBaton appeared in searches but seems very expensive.

One for all are still around and one I found has "activities" e.g. press "stream TV" and it runs on the NVidia Shield TV Pro, the TV and the
amplifier and switches all the inputs appropriately, bit like the Logitech.

Any thoughts?

I've had pretty good experiences using One-For-All URC-7140 universal
remotes bought simply from Tesco, particularly with old kit: Panasonic
TV, QNAP NMP-1000, Sanyo Midi HiFi. Can't comment on more modern kit.

The most recent models I have, an R02 & an R04 (the release number is
labelled inside the battery compartment), have 100 programmable
functions, but the earliest model, an R01, has only 25 despite being advertised as having 100. I wrote in to them around the time of the
pandemic pointing this out, and after they returned to full-time working
they sent me a free replacement, the R04 above, with some of the
NMP-1000 functions pre-programmed for me. Excellent customer service!

If you are quick (the auction ends on Thursday), this might suit you. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/257608452415

Many thanks :-)

From reviews it seems the older ones where you put in numbers are seen as better than those that rely on the app - the URC 7966 only has 3 stars on Amazon.
