Home Theater dimmer switches – want to control 2 switches side by side (dual gang) w/IR Remote Control. HELP!?

I am renovating my basement and putting in a nice home theater. My main TV room will have two light switches side-by-side, one controls recessed lighting on each side of the room. I am looking for a brand of dimmer switch that I can use 1 remote control (will be programming my new Logitech Harmony universal remote) to control both light switches (independently). I am having a hard time finding such an item, but it can’t be that rare! I have found one brand (3BM) that comes with a remote control that can control up to 3 switches, so is that a decent brand?

I have heard of people doing this, but I don’t know what brand of switches I can use! There are many brands that 1 remote controls 1 switch, but I have 2 switches right next to each other (dual-gang box) that control different sides of the room.

HELP!!!

Angry Marvin is right.

The best I can determine is that 3BM is a Chinese company… which isn’t saying much since they probably are all made there.

Lutron
Leviton
Hubble

are name brands in this category. Probably Heath/Zenith as well, but not really quality main stream electrical.
