New Samsung Surround Sound. Now a Remote Control problem!

    Hi,

    I recently got a Samsung speaker kit from Ibood, it's grand but the problem is that there are now too many remotes!

    To say watch sky now, I have to turn on the TV with the sky remote, turn on sky with the sky remote and turn on the speakers with the speaker remote.

    Its the same if I have to turn it off, have to turn off the speaker set, then also the tele and sky seperately.

    Is there an all in 1 remote that will turn them all on/off simaltaneously, or if not is there any easier solution?



    Also a second query, the volume control on the sky remote changes the volume on the tele but not the surround sound set, is there any way to change this, because at the minute to change the volume I have to use the surround sound remote.

    Sorry for the noob questions, but any help would be great!

    You could always go for an all-in-one solution remote with macro abilities.
    Something like a logitech harmony or similar!

    Have a look here:

    That sounds perfect, thanks! From googling 'macro remote controls', it seems that all I do is press 1 button and it performs a number of tasks, for example turn on TV/turn on Sky/Switch AV Receiver to correct channel, yeah?
