OK, so Norway is finally getting HDTV that isn't rediculously expensive (June 1st), so I'm getting a High-Def decoder. However, my rather clumsy Home Theater set-up uses an audio reciever, and no video reciever. This means that I only have the 1 HDMI input in the TV, and this means that I'll need to get an HDMI-switch.

So, I've decided to get this. Now, this means that I'll be using 5 remotes: One for the TV, one for DVD-player, one for sound, one for TV Channels and one for the HDMI switch.

So, I've decided to get a Logitech Harmony One. I've heard that you can "teach" them to control components that aren't already programmed in the software. Would I be able to do that with the HDMI switch? It comes with an IR remote.

I think so, I have a remote that can learn IR signals.

They're leet.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

The HDMI thing is supported.
It is in the thing on this page.
Amplifier -> Audio/video switch -> Octava -> 3x1 HDMI switch

Yes, it's ridiculously easy to do.

Yeah you just hold the other remote to it and it learns whatever input you want, there great remotes really :\ Though i wish I didnt skimp on mine, I have a 555 and its a bit of a task to use all the gear I want, tho its do-able easily enough, go for as good a one as u can and you will be sorted (that said tho I did spend $100 on the frigen thing).
