Universal Remote

[fatandwheezing]

I have grown increasingly irritated by all the remote controls we have, and have decided I need a universal remote. I'm not bothered about anything too fancy with screens or anything, but I do want it to operate the following:
1x Samsung TV
1x BT Youview Box
1x LG BD/DVD
1x NowTV box

Any recommendations? I'd rather not have to keep charging it, but would compromise if there was a significant benefit.

I did have a nice App on my HTC M8 that had TV inputs and power all configured, but sadly my replacement phone doesn't have IR, so it's only NowTV that works on that.

I have a Logitech harmony 650. Works very well and has a vast number of built-in devices that it supports, but a bit of patience needed to set up more complicated functions.

Logitech Harmony Companion. Does IR, plus bluetooth and wifi for supported devices. Simple remote, plus a smart hub that incorporates the IR blaster. Can be found on ebay for £90.

There is also an app that lets you use your phone as the remote.
