Favorite all-in-one remote control?

I'm using a Marantz 2000 MkII and love it. I was able to replace 5 remotes with this one, and even my wife can use it to control the basic functions. I found it on FleaBay for $75, scooped it up and now I'm HAPPY!

And, contrary to what I'd read, it is NOT very battery-hungry: I replace the DuraCell alkalines about twice a year and that's with moderate to heavy use.

BTW, The Marantz SR-18 is the same unit with a different name...

I have a Pronto....forget it...
Take a look at Harmony remotes...they have three models and they look pretty well thought out...no macros or anything..it's all web based and then downloaded via usb into your remote...why didn't I think of that?

I have the MX-500 universal remote, I think it's a Theater Master. A search for MX-500 on ebay or google will turn up vendors. I learned about this on the avs and tivo forums (fora?), where it is far and away the most favored universal remote. It was easy to program, though I haven't done the more sophisticated things with mine, like having all your equipment or selected items turn on/off with the use of one button, macros to accomplish tons of things, etc. Everyone says these more complex things are easy to do with it, however. I got mine for about $97 from some online electronics retailer, maybe ABT Electronics or something, but you can possibly find them on ebay for less. A guy was selling one here about a week ago for $65 or so, but it was snatched up immediately.
