Check out RemoteCentral.com, which was where I did my research and got the Sony RM-AV3000 (MSRP $199) from B&H Photo Video online for $125. There are other better ones, but I didn't want to spend something equivalent to a AV receiver. I love what I have. Has many macro functions and can be programed to turn lights on and off. Macro function is a one touch button, which is convenient for wife and kids. Cool LCD touch screen. You can use any palm pilot pen for the screen in case you want to avoid finger grease.
Favorite all-in-one remote control?
I'd like some opinions on the best all-in-one, learning remote controls out there. I don't even have all that many components, but I am sick of swimming in remote controls!! My gear is in a dedicated closet, so rf would be a plus (although I do have a set of powermids, so its not a deal-breaker). I've got 4 components to control (including a tv). Something of a reasonable size would be nice too, I'd like to avoid anything resembling a video game. Simplicity is a big plus, the less gadgety the better.
Thanks for your opinions, Jb3
