I'd second the Harmony remote, I have the 659 and 880, I looked at the 1000 Chadnnliz speak of but I much prefer the hard buttons for using in the dark, for me the 659 is better than the 880 as the buttons are more logical, so the 880 is in my bedroom system and the 659 controls my main system.
FWIW You will in no way be taxing this remote, my 658 controls a TV, four disk players, pre/pro, Squeezebox, HD DVR, and some of the disk players run multiple different connections, so it has three functions for one, two for another...... They are my favorite remote hands down, skip the Marantz Jea48 proposes, the harmony is far superior to that one.
