I currently have far too many remotes to control the TV, Sky, music player, amp, dvd player etc, so I'm thinking of getting a remote which can control all with one touch... There seem to be quite a few out there so I'm not sure which one to go for. The Logitech Harmony range looks good, has anyone got any experience with them? What are they like for controlling Sky? Are there any better ones out there?

Harmony 1000 is great.

Very easy to set up on pc and to use.

It's activity driven so for example, set an icon to be "watch sky" and you set it to turn tv to the right channell, amp on, sky on etc etc. You get the picture!

You set all the buttons to do what you want dependent on the activity you have chosen.

Not the cheapest I imagine but a very handy truly universal and very easy to use remote.

Pronto is the daddy of remotes.

i have a pronto and they are fantastic, could really do with selling it as just bought new car (they are expensive) tried using the normal remotes to see if i could cope. I am no longer selling my pronto, they are just fantastic just make sure you spend the time to set it up properly.
