I just got myself into the home theatre realm and now I think I might need a universal remote. I am starting to dislike having to hold 2 remotes at the same time. The universal remote that came with my Denon receiver does not have codes for my RCA 5 disc DVD changer and does not "learn". All I need is something that can do my denon receiver, 2 vcr's (both the same brand), DVD player, TV, and for future purposes, DTV/Cable, and room for one or two more random things. I'm looking around no more than $50 because I just can't justify the cost of a home theatre master mx-500. LCD/hard button combo preferred if done well. just looking for some recomendations. Started to look at the Sony rm-vl1000 and it looked all right. So did the One For All URC-9910 .
Opinions?

This is the 'play area', not that you won't get an answer, it just might not be what you want. Maybe you should repost on another forum.

That said, you might go to the main page and try the "Clicker Picker" to find you dream remote. The main page also has reviews of most of the popular remotes.

BTW: Once I too thought that I could never justify paying more than $50.00 for a remote. Well, now I have TWO MX-500's and consider it the best purchase I've ever made.

You might wanna look in the cushions!

Told ya so!

and a canadian dime and cookie crumbs (from dan's cookies, of course), and a condom wrapper!

cibola....cibola....cibola....my life for you....cibola

Now here's a little story to tell it is a must
About an unsung hero that moves away your dust
Some people make a fortune other's earn a mint
My old man don't earn much
In fact....he's flippin'.....skint

Oh! my old man's a dustman he wears a dustman's hat
He wears cor blimey trousers and he lives in a council flat
He looks a proper narner in his great big hob nailed boots
He's got such a job to pull em up that he calls them daisy roots

Some folks give tips at Christmas and some of them forget
So when he picks their bins up he spills some on the steps
Now one old man got nasty and to the council wrote
Next time my old man went 'round there he punched him up the throat
Oh! my old man's a dustman he wears a dustman's hat
He wears cor blimey trousers and he lives in a council flat

I say I say Duncan! I 'er...I found a police dog in my dustbin
(How do you know he's a police dog?) He had a policeman with him

Though my old man's a dustman he's got a heart of gold
He got married recently though he's 86 years old
We said 'Ear! Hang on Dad you're getting past your prime'
He said 'Well when you get to my age it helps to pass the time'
Oh! my old man's a dustman he wears a dustman's hat
He wears cor blimey trousers and he lives in a council flat

I say I say I say! My dustbins full of lillies
(Well throw 'em away then) I can't Lilly's wearing them

Now one day while in a hurry he missed a lady's bin
He hadn't gone but a few yards when she chased after him
'What game do you think you're playing' she cried right from the heart
'You've missed me...am I too late?' 'No... jump up on the cart'
Oh! my old man's a dustman he wears a dustman's hat
He wears cor blimey trousers and he lives in a council flat

I say I say I say (What you again!) My dustbin's absolutely full with toadstools
(How do you know it's full) 'Cos there's not much room inside

He found a tiger's head one day, nailed to a piece of wood
The tiger looked quite miserable but I suppose it should
Just then from out a window, a voice began to wail
He said (Oi! Where's me tiger head) Four foot from it's tail

Oh! my old man's a dustman he wears a dustman's hat
He wears cor blimey trousers and he lives in a council flat
Next time you see a dustman looking all pale and sad
Don't kick him in the dustbin it might be my old dad

chim chimney, chim chimney, chim chimney, chim chim cheree
a sweep is as lucky, as lucky as can be
chim chimney, chim chimney, chim chimney, chim chim cheroo
good luck will rub off when i shakes hands with you

oh, blow me a kiss and that's lucky, too

now as the ladder of life has been strung
you may think a sweep's on the bottom-most rung
though i spend my time in the ashes and smoke
in this whole wide world there's no happier bloke

chim chimney, chim chimney, chim chimney, chim chim cheree
a sweep is as lucky, as lucky as can be
chim chimney, chim chimney, chim chimney, chim chim cheroo
good luck will rub off when i shakes hands with you

oh, blow me a kiss and that's lucky, too

up where the smoke is all billowed and curled
twixt pavement and stars is the chimney sweep world
where there's hardly no day and there's hardly no night
there's things half in shadow and things half in light

on the rooftops of london, god wht a sight

chim chimney, chim chimney, chim chimney, chim chim cheree
a sweep is as lucky, as lucky as can be
chim chimney, chim chimney, chim chimney, chim chim cheroo
good luck will rub off when i shakes hands with you

oh, blow me a kiss and that's lucky, too
