How do I connect my Sony DVD Home Theater System DAV-FR10W to my Samsung HLP5085WX/XAA Pedestal TV and Dish Hopper 3 box? I have both the modern Dish remote and a Harmony universal remote. Would be great if I could just use one of them for all the devices. Thanks in advance!

Your Logitech remote can certainly be programmed to operate the system. That would be done on their website. Follow the instructions that came with it.

Thank you for your feedback. My HDMI cable needed to be replaced so I have ordered a new set. I will try your recommended setup as soon as I receive the cable and will report the results. Stay tuned! :)
