I completely agree except that without buying one of the Logitech (nee Harmony) remotes or something similar you end up with 2 anyways at a minimum. Throw in a gaming console and you have 3 or more.
It is a total PITA as you say.
I am just about ready to move to a new receiver and at that time I will be getting one of those remotes because while I can handle all of the various units...it is crazy for other household members who just want to watch American Idol or America's Top Model or whatever those shows are called who then end up just using the audio on the tv because that's what they care to figure out.
but good to see the move to an hdpvr...we have one and i don't think I could remove it from the house if i tried.
My wife and eldest daughter told me that i could take away the hd and they wouldn't mind...but not the pvr. for me...i like the pause on flames games when i have to break for 15 minutes or whatever but i could give that up if i had to for the hd.
but we still have 2 remotes!
