RCA RCU400

$12.00 Est. at Amazon

from onic, www.shopping.com
the bottom line: the rcu400 would not replace your current remotes since you will still need them to control the features introduced in televisions after 1990 since it does not control the menu.
from athensoh, www.shopping.com
pros: lightweight, big and pleasant keys, night light cons: didn't work with any of my devices except for an rca tv
from www.amazon.com
i got this, supposedly universal, remote about a year ago, planned to use with my tv and dvd.

RCA RCU800B

$12.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
I bought this remote because I needed to replace a broken TV remote that had the Guide Plus control buttons.
from www.newegg.com
It also only partially worked with my Toshiba TV - it only got power, channel, and volume.
from www.amazon.com
I got them because we have an RCA tv, so setup was easy.

One For All URC-1030

$4.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
for me it's a stereo with 2 cd players, a dvd player, a vcr (yeah - still a bit lost in the 80's) and, thanks to the learning capability, it's running my television that there aren't any remote codes
from www.amazon.com
the fact that it can learn commands from other ir remotes enabled me to control my old sony multi-system tv.
from www.amazon.com
for example to watch a dvd i've been able to set it up so that the remote sets the tv to dvd input then turns on the dvd player.
from www.amazon.com
using two remotes, the old one and the one that comes with tivo, just fine, although it was inconvenient to have to find the old remote just to raise or lower the volume or turn on and off the tv.
from www.amazon.com
there aren't many bells and whistles, but it does exactly what i need it to do: control a sony tv, a comcast motorola cable box, a panasonic dvd player, and a samsung vcr.

Logitech Harmony 676 LCD

$166.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.pricegrabber.com
it even has tv guide information right on your remote!
from www.circuitcity.com
i'd been searching for a remote control that 'could do everything.' and i had a dream of a remote control that was function-oriented ('watch tv' watch vcr) instead of device-oriented.
from harpitect, www.shopping.com
the bottom line: if you need to control multiple components, in a home theater setup for example, the harmony 676 is a good choice.
from www.pricegrabber.com
the 676 comes with 2 extra coloured plated (red and blue) which may come in handy if it matches your home theater.
from www.pricegrabber.com
however, for normal use with a home theater system, this one is more than enough.

Sony RM-V302

$6.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
admittedly, i'm only using it to control my sharp tv and a jvc dvd/vcr combo, but it works flawlessly.
from www.amazon.com
after inadvertently spilling some liquid on our zenith tv remote, it was time to find a replacement of some sort.
from www.amazon.com
only weakness is lack of support for some of the higher end features on both my tv and cable box.
from ekimble, www.shopping.com
pros: large buttons, comfortable design, can control sound from my receiver while still in tv mode.
from www.amazon.com
i bought this remote to replace an older 3-device sony remote control, with the hopes of using it to control (mainly) my series-2 tivo, and every once in a while to control jvc dvd player, toshiba
