Only use the Harmony
Trust the Harmony, it will keep track of everything that's already on and will turn stuff on/off accordingly when you change activities.
This all falls to pot when you use another remote. The Harmony is the only remote you should use, and indeed the only one you need to use once it's all set up properly.
My 555 (£50) is perfect for me, none of this touchscreen or gimmicky rubbish. It just works, even for the missus and that's saying something...
