i've had good success with my One For All ... it's the "Kameleon Remote"
.. (it's the blue one on the front page of there website at
http://www.ofausa.com) ... it even can be upgraded via phone if it
doesn't have the codes you need! :) ... it's also learning, so you can
setup additional stuff ... my favorite features are:
- "scripting" the power button, so i can power up my tv, surround sound
receiver, vcr, dvd player, etc, etc with one push of a button (or turn
them all off!) ...
- it has a "theatre mode" where the buttons control the most logical
things (ie: channel up/dn controls tv, numbers control tv, sound-related
buttons control receiver, etc) ... all configurable, of course ... i
believe the full manual is online, so it'll have more info than i can
remember ...
it ran about $89 at Best Buy when i got it last year ... probably has
come down in price since then ... didn't shop around, either
hth,
