Need recomendation on universal remote.....

I just bought a home theater and I now have 5 remotes......needled to
say, my wife is not happy about that. I want a remote where I can link
several functions with one button (like turn-on DVD, turn on receiver &
switch TV to DVD). the kicker is I'm limited to about $200. Any
recommendations will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

... needled to say, my wife is not happy about that.

Goodness, if that wasn't a Freudian slip I can't imagine what is.

Heh, heh, heh... :^)

Universal Remote MX-500
http://www.universal-remote.com/htm/mx500/index.html
Fantastic Remote!

Sony RM-VL900. I paid around $60. It's easy to use, programmable,
has macro functions. Overall I've been very happy with it. It
doesn't have the PC interface, and LCD display, or all the fancy bells
and whistles but I just wanted a simple remote that didn't need new
batteries constantly and controls everything. A good site for
reviews, codes, etc. is http://www.remotecentral.com. They even have
a "clicker picker" which asks you questions and tries to recommend a
good remote for you. It does a fair job but browse around and you'll
probably find the right one for you.

Thanks for the site. I'll check it out & the MX-500 too see which has the
features I want, though the price on the Sony is hard to ignore. I might
pick-up the Sony and use it in the bedroom regardless.

I think of 2 options primarily for this:


for touch screen - Pronto Neo (or used Pronto TSU-1000 - not 500)
for buttons - Harmony SST-659

A good resource for this with lots of reviews, forums, etc. is
www.remotecentral.com
