I found this link and quote below from a simple google search.

I would have recommended one of the Logitech Harmony 360 Remotes. I have a Harmony 520 and out of the box it controls my Xbox 360, Original Xbox, TV, VCR, DVD Player, and home theatre system.

If you already have the harmony 360...why would you want to buy another remote? Especially since the 520/550 is so similar to the 360 one you already own...

Either way, they all do the exact same thing, using the exact same software. The only difference between the harmony 360/520/550 are the buttons/colors.

Can't wait to get my 880 in the mail tomorrow from Dell!!!

So if I bought the 550 instead of the 360 Harmony remote we are confident it would work.

NVM, Anybody got a harmony remote. I got a question. Lets say I'm watching t.v and decide I want to watch a dvd. Is it switchable quite easibly. Like, i'm playing my 360 and want to watch t.v real quick, does it easily switch back and fourth.

Seriously, I got mine used at EB for $15. Tag said Used XBOX360 remote. All remotes are under the same number. Someone had to be stupid to get rid of it for the trade value. You might get lucky.

very easily... most harmony remotes have macro buttons, for example "Watch DVD"... if the remote is correctly setup one touch of this button will turn your TV to the correct input channel for DVD playback, power on your dvd player, tune your home theater receiver to the correct input, etc....

Harmony remotes are very customizeable.
