If you like Jarod's setup and want to go a bit cheaper try the
URC-6012.  It's available at WalMart.  I have one and it is less
than half the price of the RS remote.  No LCD but the available
buttons are almost the same (more than enough for Myth) and
the setup is exactly the same as the RS remote instructions on
Jarod's site (except for the references to the LCD screen).  I
am very happy with mine.

P.S.  It is also a JP-1 remote if you want to go off the deep
end and program it using a PC interface.
