eTrayz NAS storing all my media + acting as download box
PS3
All controlled by a Harmony One. Now if only I could afford to pay my power bill.. "
I've got a Harmony as well and absolutely love the thing. What IR sensor are you using with your HTPC that works with the Harmony? I've been meaning to find one so I can attempt to ditch the cable box.

There's one built into my HTPC. It worked once and not ever since. So instead I used and MCE receiver. Set up the harmony as an MCE Keyboard. I followed this thread at XBMC.org forums.
I know, right? If the price wasn't so good I'd move somewhere that didn't have the badness.
