I know I'm replying to a message over 3 months old, but I just now got 
around to doing something about a universal remote. A universal remote 
was about the only thing I could think of that I wanted for Christmas 
(besides computer crap, which my wife won't get me :), so I told her I 
wouldn't mind a RadioShack 8-in-1, pn 15-2116, just like Ray's. Heck, 
it was only $30. She got it for me.

So far, all I can say is SCHWEEEEET! I'm controlling my Yamaha 
receiver/amp, Panasonic HDTV, Motorola DCT5100 cable box, Technics 
110-disc CD changer, X-Box, and I've got the Hauppauge IR receiver for 
my PVR-250 accepting input from it as well (gotta create a new lirc 
config file though). Not too shabby for a $30 remote. I thought I might 
have to get a new IR receiver for the computer, but no. Kick-ass!

Belated thanks for the recommendation, Ray! ;-)
