I wasn't sure where to put this, since it could apply to any number of areas.

I just ordered a new universal remote:

Take the test drive on the main page.  It's too cool.  They have most of the receivers, pre/pros, TVs, DVD/CD players, and VCRs in their database.  All my devices are listed, so I'm in business!

If you order from www.avsmarts.com you can get it for $269.  Use coupon code RC2579 to save $10 (basically free shipping).

I can get rid of all my remotes now!

This is the only remote we recommend.  It is incredible.  You will love it!

I had one of their first models.  Not a bad unit.
The interface is clever.
