Scott,

I totally sympathize. The DA90ESG will not respond to any universal remote commands since it's frequency is too high (the remote and the receiver). There is a company called Xantech that has worked out a solution, but it will run like $300 extra so that u could use any Universal AV remote. I think Sony will be abandoning the vision touch platform. Anyway, I am at least down to 2 remotes. Hope this helps.
