universal remote for hdtv home theater

I am asking this question for a non computer using friend he is looking for a universal remote he can use for his home theater set up. He has the whole ball of wax with hdtv cd dvd etc. and would like to use one remote instead of 8 or so. Ease of use is his main concern. Logitech Harmony 880 says it will do the job, will it? or is there something better?
