After years of dealing with multiple remotes, I finally broke down and replaced the five separate remotes for our various bits of AV gear with a Logitech Harmony One. It also controls the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 2, conveniently enough. This makes watching movies via NetFlix streaming service on the 360 really easy too since it will pretend to be a controller and map controller functions the their logical equivalent on the remote's buttons.
The level of control and customization possible on this thing is amazing. I'm glad I bought it, and I've only had it since Tuesday. I'm still making tweaks and adjustments, but the initial setup was pretty easy and only took a few minutes. You plug it into a USB port on your computer, fire up the software to program it, tell it what devices you have, and it pulls down the latest info it has on them from Logitech over your net connection and walks you through getting the functions set up.
Highly recommended for those of you out there who are tired of dealing with a bundle of different remotes all the time.
EDIT: Oh, and let's not overlook the rechargeable Lithium ion battery, negating the need to buy and replace batteries.
