X-10 Universal Remote (Score 2, Informative)

The best I have found short of the cool $200 jobbers is the X-10 8 in 1 Super illuminated Remote Control. I paid only $25. It is a Learning Remote and designed for DVD/DSS systems.

Mine controls...
Sony TV (Built in Code)
Sony VCR(Built in Code)
STD Pioneer Cable Box (Built in Code)
Sony CD Changer (Programmed Codes)
Sony DVD Changer (Programmed Codes)
Sony Reciever (Programmed Codes)
Digital Cable Box (Programmed Codes)
X-10 appliances/Lights in House. (Build in Codes - Dimming the home theater lights from the same remote is darn cool! The illumination comes in handy after the lights go out...)

Not only is the the least expensive Learning Remote around, but it has the navigation controls for Digital Cable/DSS/DVD.
