Best Buy is advertising the URC-9800 for $100. The add says that the remote will work through walls which is a definite selling feature for me. Will the MX-1000 do the same?

Will the 9800 be enough of a remote for me? I have a 2 TVs, 3 VCRs, Receiver, Cable box and DVD, which are 8 devices. That is the max for the 9800 remote.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Mark
