ive got a rat-shack 8-in-1 (15-2116), with an lcd that is jp1 compatible 
and works with all of my equipment - even leaving me an extra button that i 
use for lircmd/other irxevent/irexec stuff (like killing/restarting 
mythfrontend and shutting down completely). there is also an "extender" 
that allows you to customize what the lcd says. the jp1 group has a 
boat-load of custom device codes - check out 
<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/jp1/files/3.%20Device%20Codes/>. a cursory 
look shows that all your devices should work - the xbox isn't listed, but 
should with one of the RCA DVD codes. also more info on jp1 can be found at
