The Bottom Line		The PC-programmable Logitech Harmony 550 universal remote control offers a sleek design, an impressive feature set, and a manageable price tag.	While it's missing an RF option, Logitech's Harmony One is one of the best--if not the best--universal remote we've ever tested.	Philips' superb Prestigo SRU8010 will appeal to TV-centric users looking for a universal remote that's both affordable and easy to set up.
