Need help from the experts here.
I need a universal remote to control a basic system, all IR with 4 components. My main concern is single handed ergonomics, tactile buttons and channel surfing through my Tivo and it's channel guide.
Anyone have any good recommendations? Both suggestions above $100 and over $100 would be great! Thanks in advance!

I would recommend he URC MX-700/800/850/950 remotes. I use the MX-700 and it's a very good remote for the money.

Assuming one of those adjectives was supposed to read UNDER $100, the MX-500 is the original from that series and somewhere under $90.

Ended up getting a Logitech Harmony 659 last night, already set it up and seems to do the job great. It's a perferct size for single hand operation but I don't like how smooth it is so I think I may end up replacing it with the 676 model instead because it has rubber sides. Thanks for the advice guys!

Folloup, just replaced the 659 with the 676. I like the 676 much better. It is mostly rubber coated and the buttons are rubber compared to the 659's smooth plastic.
It also has the play, FF, RW buttons in a more logical central location so it makes using Tivo one handed way easier.
For me, I can't imagine anything working better and it was only $100ish!
