What remote to buy?

I am almost finished getting my link box components together. It appears that the harmony would be the way to go get it to turn my TV on and off and control the receiver and such. This is probably a stupid question but I assume you need some kind of card in the PC to interact with the harmony remote. Where do I get that?

The server/main living room box has the Hauppauge remote and works well enough. Again if I were to add a harmony to it I would have to have some kind of interface for it to connect to? Could I use the IR blaster on the PVR 150?

Right now I am looking at 3 types of remotes
Firefly mini---it's only $10 with link
Firefly (full?)-I figure it works if they sell it
Harmony--I don't really care which version I just would like to be able to control it all with one remote.

What do you think? How do I get there? I have read some other posts and they seem to suggest buying streamzap? or something. I guess that is the what goes in the PC?
