So many remotes ..

Howdy !
I have my tv integrated into my home stereo , complete with old Mac mini , Apple TV, freesat box, now tv and am wondering if there is one remote that can do the lot ?
My tv is not smart as such , as I have the freesat and Apple TV going into the hdmi socket on my tv . The Mac mini is going through the pc input . All fine and dandy ,but I have way too many remotes .
Bizarrely enough my amp is old school with no remote .

Any ideas ?

Thanks

    I use a Logigtech hub, it sends all the IR commands to control all the various devices. I also have a Logitech remote control, however that only communicates with the hub. I rarely use the remote as I prefer to use an app on my iPad, which again communicates with the hub.

    This is their cheapest combo, the Logitech Companion:

    I use the more expensive Elite.

    Out of curiosity, what's it like for reliability & functionality? I had a Harmony 650 but it started playing up (resetting). When I did a search for the problem, I found it's quite widespread with the model, has been a problem for years, and Harmony are either unwilling or unable to fix. A lot of bad reviews from 'regular Harmony users' have put me off buying something newer due to alleged problems with those models.

    I also use the Logitech to control everything, currently only TV, DVD player, Digital recorder and Roku stick never had a problem.

    I bought m8ne from Amazon when it was half price.

    Excellent bit of kit which has never let me down.
