Never owned a Tivo, but I can't say enough about my Harmony 676. Has
the "peanut" shape, well-placed buttons (plus a "glow" button that makes
the buttons, well, glow), LCD panel, etc. Best of all, it controls my
entire HT system, including Xbox, CD Jukebox (now mostly a CD holder,
since MythMusic has upstaged it), Receiver, and of course Myth. Usually
with one or two button presses. It also powers everything up/down
appropriately.
So it can be done. Oh, and my wife and kids would rather give up ice
cream than the remote.
