A friend of mine introduced me to logitech's programmable remotes and I thought they were very impressive, except for the battery life. He said his lasted about a week without being recharged. That's really not acceptable to me. I have been using the same batteries in my TV's remote for 4 years. Any programmable remote must have a minimum battery life of 6 months to a year for it to be of any use to me. I really just want to have a button for TV, which will turn on the TV and DVD system and use the DVD systems speakers, and a button for DVDs which would do pretty much what you would expect. So what are my options here? I don't need fancy LCD displays or 107 buttons.

Thanks for your help.
