Nearly any remote made by Universal Electronics can do multi-device macros, using the 995 command. The cheapest of these is the OneForAll 6131N at $15. The RCA RCRP05B and the OFA URC-8820 are $20, or less from web suppliers. Comcast has distributed about 25 million remotes which do multi device macros. TimeWarner and other cable companies supply Atlas remotes. The cable company remotes are roughly $20, but typically don't learn.
For most of these remotes, macros are limited to 15 or 20 steps, where any button press is a step.
Another useful feature: buttons are individually programmable, so discrete commands can be added, even if they aren't available in the original remote.
Of course, there's no LCD display, and most don't have backlights.
